Hedman will have surgery on his fractured finger on Tuesday; Out 4-6 weeks.

Hedman was injured when he blocked a shot on Saturday and will miss at least one month, possibly longer. He had three goals and four assists in the first five games, so this is a big loss for the Lightning. Expect Anton Stralman to take over on the top power-play unit, with Jason Garrison taking his spot on the second unit.

Hedman likely to miss at least four weeks with a broken hand.

Hedman suffered the injury while blocking a shot in Saturday's game against Vancouver. The is a tough blow to the Lightning blueline and Hedman fantasy owners. The 23-year-old blueliner had followed up a breakout season with three goals and four assists (seven points) in five games. Don't expect to see him until late November or early December. Jason Garrison will likely see an increased power-play role with Hedman out.

Hedman left Saturday's game with a hand injury and did not return.

Hedman, who entered Saturday leading all defensemen with seven points, will be evaluated by team medical personnel in Tampa and could miss a significant amount of time. Early speculation is that Hedman suffered a broken hand, which is tough news for a player who was enjoying a hot start. Expect an update later on Sunday.

Hedman suffered an unspecified lower body injury at some point during the first period and did not come back out for the second.

Thankfully the Lightning had seven defensemen dressed, because they also lost Keith Aulie on Thursday. It is and unfortunate injury for Hedman who had caught fire as of late posting four goals and four assists in his last nine games coming into Thursday. He is considered day-to-day and questionable for Saturday's game vs. Winnipeg.
