Hedman is questionable for Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury.

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 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 (lower-body) is questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. Boston.

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 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.
