Status report
Stamkos will not play Saturday and the forward is doubtful to play at the Predators on Tuesday, the last of a four-game road trip. Coach Jon Cooper said Stamkos is being examined and hopes for more clarity after Tampa Bay returns home. ... Olivier, a forward, is out 4-6 weeks. ... Tolvanen, a forward, and Fabbro, a defenseman, each is week to week.
