Report: Yzerman expects Stamkos to be ready for training camp

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos is one of the most lethal offensive players in the NHL today - when he's healthy, that is.

That hasn't been the case recently, as the 27-year-old has almost seen more of the press box than the ice, missing 115 games over the past four seasons while dealing with multiple serious injuries.

However, according to Stamkos' agent, Mark Guy, the talented centerman is finally healthy again.

"He's doing great," Guy told the Tampa Bay Times' Joe Smith. "No issues."

Stamkos had surgery in November to deal with a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, an injury that saw him miss the majority of last season.

According to Smith, Lightning GM Steve Yzerman expects Stamkos to be ready for training camp and the start of next season.

In 17 games last year, the Markham, Ontario, native tallied nine goals and 11 assists.
