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.
McDonagh will return to the Rangers blueline tonight after sitting out their last game. McDonagh has 32 points and was a +25 last season but has struggled to produce offensively this season. He only has two goals and three assists in 17 games this season. McDonagh will return to the Rangers top-pair with Daniel Girardi.
There is no timetable for McDonagh's return but the fact that he is skating is a positive sign. Monitor is status prior to tomorrow's game vs. Tampa Bay.
It doesn't look like McDonagh will be in the lineup for the Rangers tonight after injuring his face and head in Saturday's game. There is word that McDonagh may have suffered a concussion on the hit by Max Pacioretty, but the injury still remains undisclosed.
McDonagh had just started to heat-up offensively after a slow start to the season. Monitor his status in the next couple of days to see if he does have a concussion. This is a tough break for the Rangers who will be without both their top-2 defenceman.
Look for Hedman to draw back in tonight after being a late scratch last night. He has four goals and 16 points in 54 games.
Hedman likely misses a game or two. Head coach Guy Boucher now has the option of dressing six forwards or subbing in Mike Commodore.
Check back tomorrow for an official update on Hedman. He has three goals and 13 points in 45 games.
Good news for Hedman as he probably only misses another couple of games. He has three goals and 13 points in 45 games.
