Leafs catch a HUGE break just minutes before Game 2

UPDATE: No Hedman tonight for the Lightning. 

HUGE break for the Leafs.

Read below for our earlier report on this developing story.

In case you missed it in Game 1 of the opening round playoff series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs, Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman left the game with a suspected lower body injury.

Lightning head coach Jon Cooper was pretty tight lipped on Hedman's status following the game, but this morning he did announce that Hedman would take morning skate today and would be a game-time decision for today.

Needless to say that if Hedman can't play this evening, it would be a HUGE advantage for the hometown Leafs.
