Victor Hedman: (Lower Body) Out Tuesday

Coach Jon Cooper confirmed Hedman (lower body) will miss Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Hedman is still being listed as day-to-day and could still play in the remaining two games of the Lightning's three-game road trip, which will take the team to Ottawa on Thursday. Considering that the blueliner has dealt with a multitude of injuries this season, the Lightning are likely just relieved that his latest setback doesn't appear to put his availability for the postseason in danger. AHL call-up Slater Koekkoek will fill in for Hedman on Tuesday.
