The Tampa Bay Lightning announced Wednesday that forward Steven Stamkos will be out indefinitely after sustaining a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee during Tuesday’s game in Detroit.
Stamkos was hurt in the first period of the Lightning’s 4-3 win in an apparent collision with Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist.
"We are in the process of evaluating options for repair and rehabilitation and will release more information as it becomes available,” Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman said in a statement.
Yzerman on Stamkos: "Our understanding is that this issue can be repaired + he can get back to full speed.
