The news was not good for the Tampa Bay Lightning and Steven Stamkos, as it was announced on Thursday that the superstar forward suffered a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
TSN's Bob Mckenzie reports that Stamkos will be heading to Vail, CO to have surgery performed on his knee and that the best-case scenario for his return would be four months (mid-March), but that recovery time could be as long as six months, which would be well into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
