Victor Hedman: Confirms Return for Wednesday's Game Against Maple Leafs

Victor Hedman (lower body) confirmed Tuesday he will be ready for Wednesday's home game versus the Maple Leafs and expects to be in the lineup. The blueliner sustained his lower-body injury during warmups of last Wednesday's quarterfinals matchup for Sweden against the United States. Hedman has already missed 34 games this season due to an elbow injury. He should be good for his role in all situations against Toronto, though his ice time might be relatively low in the first half of a back-to-back.
