Victor Hedman (concussion) was able to fully participate in Monday's practice, but he might not play on Thursday.
Hedman said that he's still feeling more tired as a result of the concussion and he's expected to see a doctor Monday. Lightning coach Rick Tocchet hasn't made a decision yet, but he may keep Hedman out of Thursday's game for precautionary reasons. "It's his first one and, obviously, I'd take the safer side of it if he felt pretty good," Tocchet said. "To me, he would have to feel real good. I don't know if pretty good will get him in the lineup, especially at this stage of his career and this stage of the season. If it was April, playoff game, pretty good might be good enough."
