Steven Stamkos returns for Lightning in Game 7 loss

Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos logged 11:55 of ice time in his return to the lineup in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final.

What It Means:

He had surgery to repair a blood clot in his right collarbone area back on April 4th and was making his first appearance since March 31. "In order to come back and play, you have to be past that, not only physically but mentally," Stamkos said when asked if he felt tentative in his return. "I was past that. Felt pretty good." He had two shots, two hits and a minus-1 rating in Tampa Bay's 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Stamkos will be an Unrestricted Free Agent this offseason.

Stamkos put together a regular season which was slightly underwhelming compared to his normal level of production, scoring 36 goals and recording 64 points in 77 games. His -3.1 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength was a career low while his 51.5 Corsi For Percentage was slightly above his career average (50.6). Game 7 was his only appearance in the postseason.
