"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos will miss one to three months of playing time due to a blood clot near his right collar bone.
Stamkos will have a surgery to try and help repair the injury on Monday.
"Obviously, this situation is extremely disappointing because I wanted to help my team clinch a playoff spot and prepare for the start of the postseason," Stamkos said in a statement Saturday. "During my recovery, I will do all I can to help my teammates, and I hope to rejoin them soon in the Stanley Cup Playoffs."
Stamkos has not missed a game since March 6, 2014, playing 209 consecutive games, including the playoffs.
