Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos exited Sunday's game versus the Nashville Predators and will not return after suffering a lower-body injury, the team announced.
There's no indication on what forced Stamkos from the contest, but he was sidelined for Monday's game versus the Arizona Coyotes with a lower-body ailment that head coach John Cooper said was nothing to be concerned about.
After missing the majority of the 2016-17 season with a knee injury, Stamkos has rebounded this year to record 86 points in 77 games.
