Lightning's Steven Stamkos: Sustains lower-body injury Tuesday

Stamkos left Tuesday's game against the Red Wings with a lower-body injury and will not return, Erik Erlandsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Stamkos got tangled up with Gustav Nyquist along the boards in the first period and appeared to tweak his knee in the process. He was able to leave the ice on his own power, but did not put any weight on his right leg as he did so. The prolific scorer tallied his ninth goal in 2:07 of ice time prior exiting and will reportedly have an MRI in Detroit in the coming days to determine the nature of his ailment.
