4 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) has been ruled out for this week. Head coach Jon Cooper hoped to get him back for Saturday's clash with Florida, but Stamkos sadly won't make it. Tampa's captain, who has been out since April 10, also won't play against the Panthers on Thursday. Alex Barre-Boulet filled Stamkos' slot on the first line at Thursday's morning skate, and Ross Colton looks set for a second-line role against Florida. The 24-year-old has had a few very impressive weeks, notching five goals in seven games from the fourth line. He'll be an intriguing DFS option on Thursday's slate.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
