Hedman missed a few minutes late in the third period, but without a status update from head coach Jon Cooper, it's unclear whether the blueliner will be healthy for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Lightning captain Victor Hedman left Thursday night’s 2-1 loss in San Jose in the third period after taking a puck to the side of the head and did not return. The Lightning were on the power play midway through the period when Sharks defenseman Cody Ceci cleared the puck out of the San Jose end through the middle of the ice.
