Jon Cooper Provides Massive Update on Steven Stamkos' Injury

It was scary for Lightning fans when Steven Stamkos left the game midway through the first period and didn't return. Head Coach Jon Cooper has now given an update.

Stamkos Should Be OK

It's easy to jump to conclusions when a player misses most of the game with injury without returning. However, Jon Cooper has eased the anxiety, noting that Stamkos should be OK.





It was purely a precaution to keep him out, which was probably a wise move as the Lightning will need to be healthy to hold off the red-hot Maple Leafs in the first round in a few weeks.

Hopefully Stamkos will be back next game!
