Steve Stamkos (leg) will be available to play on Thursday against Buffalo. Thus making the Tampa Bay Lightning the 2013-14 trade deadline winners. Stamkos hasn't played since Nov. 11 due to a broken tibia. He had hoped to represent Team Canada in the Olympics, but despite his best efforts, he simply didn't heal quickly enough to allow that. Now he's been medically cleared and should provide the already effective Tampa Bay Lightning with a huge boost going into the playoffs. Get him back in your lineup immediately.
