Hedman has missed the last three games due to injury. The former second overall pick scored two goals through 13 games prior to this injury.
For those of you who own Hedman, check back later to see if he's in the lineup. The former second overall pick had two goals over 13 games before missing the last two games,
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.

Carlson might be due for a regression before continuing his development into a very solid NHL defender. Last season he scored seven goals and 37 points through 80 games. He already holds one assist through two games but loses PP time to Dennis Wideman on the second unit.
Through his first two NHL seasons, Hedman posted seven goals and 49 points. In his third professional season he should be able to break through offensively. He would be a nice draft-day steal as a late round pick.
