Stamkos avoids injury scare, plays vs. Jets
by Kyle Cushman from on (#69Q2A)
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos returned to the lineup on Sunday against the Winnipeg Jets after an injury scare the previous night.
Stamkos fell after battling with Joey Anderson in the first period of Saturday's win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Upon getting up, he grabbed his left leg and went straight to the bench. He didn't return to the game.
