The Boston Bruins take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden on Tuesday night, and Lightning star center Steven Stamkos will not make his long-awaited return against the Bruins.
Stamkos has been practicing with the Lightning but did not take part in the morning skate.
The Lightning star has been out since November with a knee injury, but the Lightning have been able to survive without him in the lineup this season and in the past. Since the 2008-09 season, Tampa Bay has a .605 point percentage with Stamkos and a .609 point percentage without him in the lineup.
