Tampa Bay's Swedish star defender Victor Hedman was forced to leave the ice early in the home game against Buffalo. Aftonbladet writes that Hedman appeared to have trouble with a leg and subsequently did not return to play.
I have no update to provide now, we'll see how he feels on Friday, says coach Jon Cooper according to the newspaper.
Despite Hedman's departure, Tampa Bay won the NHL game of the night with 6–5.
