so what's the usual timeline on stuff like this? Obviously every injury is different, but I see that Chris Kelly had a broken tibia in March and he returned in April after missing 14 games ... Nathan Horton had a broken tibia in 2010 and returned after 17 games. So maybe - hopefully! - it's not necessarily "out for Olympics" or even "out for season" ... unless there's more substantial damage to the leg, of course.

EDIT: I see Kelly and Horton didn't require surgery ... so Stamkos' break obviously worse.
