Lightning's Steven Stamkos: Placed on IR

Stamkos (knee) has been placed on injured reserve according to the NHL's official media site.

Analysis:

This is essentially just a formality at this point as we already knew that Stamkos would miss at least the next four months of the season. Tyler Johnson, Valtteri Flippula, and Vladislav Namestnikov will have to step up during the star center's extended absence.
