After blocking a shot in Saturday afternoon's game against the San Jose Sharks, Victor Hedman left the game and did not return. Hedman was expected to stay in Tampa, but has traveled with the team after his X-rays came back negative.
Update on Hedman: traveled with the team to Carolina, x-rays were negative, so just a bruise, but wouldn't expect he'll play tomorrow
