Tampa Bay is eliminated from the Stanley Cup. Thus, of course, hopes have been raised that the Swedish star defender in the NHL, Victor Hedman, will be available for the World Championship, which starts in a week.
But considering that Hedman showed up to the season's final press conference with an orthopedic boot on his right foot and told that he had a fracture in his right foot, it's probably not likely that there will be any play with Tre Kronor.
He says that he was ready to play the entire playoffs with the injury, says Hedman in a video from the press conference, on X.
Hedman was injured in the fourth quarterfinal against Florida. In the fifth and final match against Florida, he contributed with two assists.
