TAMPA, Fla. -- Steven Stamkos skated yet again Thursday, both by himself and then joining his Tampa Bay Lightning teammates for the morning skate, as he continues in his efforts to recover from a serious knee injury suffered Nov. 15.
Just when exactly will he be back? The Lightning aren't sure yet.
``That's hard for me to say,'' Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said after Thursday's morning skate. ``All I know is that every report we're getting on him has been positive. There haven't been setbacks. He was given quite a window of the four to six months (for his recovery).
