Analysis:
It's not clear what type of setback Hedman is dealing with, but he was only able to take one shift in the third period before leaving the Bolts' bench. The Lightning likely don't know the full extent of Hedman's injury yet, but the team figures to pass along further information on the blueliner's status sometime shortly before Tuesday's contest. The team is already without the services of rearguards Jason Garrison, Andrej Sustr and Braydon Coburn, so the potential loss of Hedman, the Bolts' top defenseman, could prove crippling.
