Hedman is dealing with a lower-body injury that he suffered on Thursday. The Lightning called up Matt Taormina yesterday, so he will enter the lineup if Hedman does not play.
Hedman will not miss anytime because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. He will be in the lineup tonight when the Lightning take on the Maple Leafs. He has 14 points in 29 games this season.
Hedman (upper-body) is considered to be day-to-day according to the Lightning, but the fact that he is skating this morning would suggest he might play tonight vs. the Leafs. Monitor his status later this afternoon.
Hedman left Monday's game and did not return. Tampa Bay plays tomorrow and then back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, so monitor his status prior to the weekend games.
Consider Hedman day-to-day until we hear further from Guy Boucher.
