No Victor Hedman on the ice for #tblightning morning skate, have to assume that means he won't play tonight.
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.
The Ducks will be even deeper and stronger Friday, when former league MVP Corey Perry returns from his four-game suspension for elbowing Minnesota's Jason Zucker in the head on March 12.
It will be Perry's first game since signing an eight-year, $69 million extension. Perry has nine goals and 15 assists in 25 games this season.
Hedman is in tonight.
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.
Victor Hedman on the ice for morning skate in Toronto
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 is considered day to day with an undisclosed upper body injury.
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.
Both Hedman and Malone have upper body issues that Boucher said need to be reassessed
Consider Hedman day-to-day until we hear further from Guy Boucher.
Corey Perry's 8 year deal with ANA is $8.625M AAV.

Perry gets $69 million over eight years, while Getzlaf gets $66 million. Perry has 214 goals and 239 assists for a total of 453 points in 555 career NHL games, all of which have been with the Ducks.
Corey Perry gets a four-game suspension. #NHLDucks
Perry gets suspended for blindside, hit to the head on Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker. Suspension video on link.
But they're likely to lose Perry to a suspension for his hit on Zucker.
The NHL will likely rule on this tomorrow but wide speculation is that Perry will get at least a game for the hit. Perry was given a 5-min major and a game misconduct.
McDonagh says he is in.
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.
Ryan McDonagh, who missed last night's game w/ an undisclosed injury (feared a concussion), is on the ice before #NYR practice
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.
McDonagh did not participate in the morning skate.
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.
Ryan McDonagh, left Saturday night’s 3-0 loss to the Canadiens in the second period after Montreal forward Max Pacioretty put an elbow in McDonagh’s back and drove him facefirst into the glass, cutting the defenseman’s lip and potentially causing a concussion.
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.
D Hedman (illness) expected to play vs Bos
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 is out tonight due to illness.
Hedman likely misses a game or two. Head coach Guy Boucher now has the option of dressing six forwards or subbing in Mike Commodore.
Confirming....Corey Perry is playing tonight. #GoNHLDucks
Perry said he's getting better every day, felt good today, but will see how he feels later, likely a game time decision. #NHLDucks
