Anton Stralman looked to be close to returning to the lineup sometime soon, J.T. Brown too. But Steven Stamkos?

J.T. Brown and Anton Stralman are also on the ice for today’s optional and wearing regular jerseys. #TBLightning

Brb, running around the block and punch-kicking the air.
Okay, we’re back. Well, let’s remember it’s just an optional skate, meaning it’s not a full-squad-hit-em-when-you-can-SO-MUCH-AGGRESSION-RAWR-PLAYOFFS type of practice. Players skate around, shoot some pucks, stretch their legs, no contact.
To be clear, he wears the red jersey when there is full squad, but in small groups there is no contact https://t.co/NMu7jp0K1Q

Why are they toying with our hearts like this? Sigh.

We’ll see if anything has changed in his status, but I’d temper some enthusiasm until after he leaves the ice

Okay, not showing any enthusiasm whatsoever. Nothing to see here!
