In the first period of the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Chicago Blackhawks, something we never want to see happened.

Steven Stamkos Was Injured And Had To Leave The Game

The Lightning confirmed their captain is out for the rest of the game.

More details came out:

Can't see because of his gear but Stamkos acts like someone who dislocated their patella (kneecap)

NFL fans will remember when this happened to Mahomes and he missed 2 games in 2019

Otherwise, maybe an LCL injury but I'm not overly convinced of that

If it is a dislocated kneecap, he will get examined and an MRI next

Another key factor can be if this has happened before

If he needs surgery, would be season ending

If he does not, would expect similar timing to Mahomes

More details to come.
