Stamkos did not take part in line rushes or power-play drills at the morning skate, then stayed on the ice after his teammates had left. He will miss his 62nd consecutive game because of a knee injury.
The Lightning (39-29-10) are four points behind the Bruins for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference. Tampa Bay has a game in hand and is 9-3-1 in its past 13 games.
Stamkos had arthroscopic surgery on Nov. 17 to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. The Lightning captain had 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) in 17 games before the injury.
