Hedman (head) is expected to play Saturday versus the Kings, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Hedman was injured in the third period of Thursday's game against the Sharks, but it doesn't look like the issue will cost him additional time. The 34-year-old defenseman is slated to play on the top pairing and first power-play unit. Hedman has been limited to three assists over his last seven contests since returning from a lower-body injury Dec. 17.
