Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos is not expected to play again this post-season. Stamkos last week said he was “hopeful” of returning this series but said Thursday there is a 95% chance he won’t play again this post-season.
Stamkos is a free agent at seasons end.
Goaltender Ben Bishop will also not play in Game 4. He has not been ruled out for a return later in the series.
