Lightning's Steven Stamkos: Out for Game 2

Stamkos (upper body) will remain sidelined for Game 2 on Monday against Pittsburgh, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Stamkos continues to tell reporters he is nearing a return, however there has yet to be any change to his medications addressing his blood clot issue. The 26-year-old's reintroduction to the lineup would certainly be an emotional boost to the team, but his ability to contribute will be in question since he has not been on the ice for a game since March 31. Look for the team to provide an update on his status once there is something new to report.
