Victor Hedman News

Hedman will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. He missed the morning skate so his status for Saturday’s game in Florida remains cloudy.

Hedman was listed as questionable after suffering a lower-body injury last night, but has now been officially given a “day-to-day” tag, which suggests that he will not play tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Slater Koekkoek has been recalled from Syracuse (AHL) and is expected to make his NHL debut.

Hedman left yesterday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. The injury could keep him out of Tuesday’s game in Toronto and would be a massive blow to the Lightning’s blue line, who recently lost Jason Garrison and Andrej Sustr.

Hedman left Thursday’s practice early with an undisclosed injury, but he was on the ice for today’s morning skate and said that he is good to go tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Hedman has three assists in his last four games.

Hedman was injured in the Lightning’s loss last night and will not play tonight vs. the Bruins. He will be replaced by Nikita Nesterov on the blue line and Anton Stralman will take his spot on the Lightning’s top power-play unit. Monitor his status prior to Thursday’s game vs. Edmonton.

Hedman left last night’s loss to the Flyers with a lower-body injury and did not return. Coach Jon Cooper said after the game that “there’s a good chance” that Hedman does not play tonight against the Bruins. The Lightning likely won’t have a morning skate, so we won’t know Hedman’s status until closer to game-time.

Hedman is on the ice for warmups so all signs are pointing to him returning.

Hedman has been out since early October with a fractured finger but it looks like he will return tonight. He says he is fine so it is up to the coaches whether or not he gets into the lineup. If he plays, get him in your lineup.

Hedman skated as an extra on Friday which suggests that he won’t be in the lineup on Saturday vs. Ottawa. Hedman is nearing a return to the Lightning blue line, but it likely won’t come until Monday now.

Hedman was on the ice for the Lightning’s morning skate, but remains in a no-contact jersey and is around 7-10 days away from returning to the lineup.

Hedman did some shooting today for the first time since breaking his hand. He is still wearing a splint under his glove, but he is now just one to two weeks away from returning to the Lightning blue line.

Hedman has been on the ice recently but still has not been shooting the puck. Until he is cleared for shooting drills, the Lightning’s star defenseman’s return remains a week or two away.
