No Hedman
As expected, Hedman will not play tonight. The Lightning continue to keep their lips sealed on their d-man's status but it is becoming apparent that he will miss a significant amount of playing time. Prior to getting hurt, he scored two goals and six points over 32 games with a minus-12 rating.
Victor Hedman not yet speaking to the media, under evaluation for the next few days; nobody saying it's a concussion, but . . . .??
Sounds like Hedman is out long term, which should hurt the Bolts' chances of rebounding. After Eric Brewer, Hedman is the second-leading player on the team in TOI. Look for Matt Gilroy to get back into the lineup tonight.
Hedman may be out
Sounds like Hedman may be out long term. He has two goals and six games over 32 games.
But Boucher said both Brewer and Hedman, who hurt himself hitting the end boards, will be re-evaluated Wednesday.
Losing Hedman for an extended amount of time would certainly hurt the Lightning's chance of turning their season around. Check back for a further update from the team.

I can confirm that Victor Hedman has agreed to terms on a contract extension. #Tblightning
Hedman has established himself as a core player in Tampa Bay and was awarded as such by management. According to the team, he leads all defensemen in every counting stat since joining the team.
Victor Hedman on the ice for #tblightning morning skate, if I were a betting man, I'd say he plays and Boucher dresses 7 D w/ Jones out
Sounds like Hedman will draw in tonight but we won't know for sure. Coach Guy Boucher practiced with four full lines which could be a sign that a defenseman will come out.

#tblightning D Victor Hedman on the ice for morning skate, is a game time decision, big change on his status from yesterday

Definitely NOT a concussion I can assure you RT @captkirk42 Does Hedman have a concussion? out a week or two longer makes me wonder.
Hedman not having a concussion is good news but he likely misses at least another week. In 13 games this season he scored two goals in what could be a breakout season.
No Victor Hedman (upper body) or Ryan Malone (upper body) on the ice for #tblightning practice this morning
Hedman is expected to miss a few weeks with his current upper-body injury. He scored two goals over his first 13 games this season.
Hedman has an upper-body injury, the team said, and coach Guy Boucher said the defenseman had an MRI exam, though there was no immediate word on what it revealed. The belief is Hedman, apparently hurt during Friday’s victory over the Blackhawks, could be out up to two weeks.
With Hedman out of the lineup, coach Guy Boucher was forced to dress both Bruno Gervais and Matt Gilroy. Expect another roster move to come shortly.
