Stamkos day to day after leaving Sunday's game with injury

Steven Stamkos is listed as day to day with what the Tampa Bay Lightning continue to refer to as a lower-body injury, the club revealed Monday.

The Lightning captain left Sunday's game against the Nashville Predators and didn't return, after which the club announced the same general nature of the ailment without the timetable.

What caused Stamkos to exit the contest remains unclear. He played 7:22 and took only one shift in the second period before departing.

He sat out last Monday's game against the Arizona Coyotes with an injury the club also classified as a lower-body issue, but Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said beforehand that was "more maintenance" than anything.
