Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman is a game-time decision for Game 3 on Saturday night, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Hedman played just 6:35 in Tuesday's 7-3 win in Game 1 in Toronto and did not participate in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Tied at 1-1, the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series shifts to Tampa, Fla., for Game 3 on Saturday night.

Hedman, who has an undisclosed injury, skated with the team on Saturday morning.

Hedman, 32, registered 49 points (nine goals, 40 assists) in 76 games during the regular season.

The two-time Stanley Cup winner and six-time All-Star has 652 points (143 goals, 509 assists) in 974 games since the Lightning drafted him No. 2 overall in 2009.
