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.

EDGE 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 point scorer tallied his ninth goal on 2:07 of ice time prior to his exit. The Lightning will likely provide more information about the nature of the injury following Tuesday's game.
