Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Victor Hedman will not play in Tuesday's game against the Vancouver Canucks and is being listed as day to day with an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Hedman was injured in Saturday's overtime win over the Seattle Kraken. He saw just 13:40 of ice time in the win and did not play in OT.

The Lightning said he would be a game-time decision against the Canucks.

Hedman has five goals and 22 assists in 29 games this season. His 23:39 average ice time also leads the team.
