Tampa Bay Lightning star defenceman Victor Hedman is returning to the lineup for Game 3 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Hedman exited midway through Game 1 with an undisclosed injury and didn't play in Game 2.
The addition of the former Norris Trophy winner is a huge boost for the three-time Stanley Cup champions. The series is tied at 1-1.
Hedman had nine goals and 40 assists for 49 points in 76 games this season.
