Hedman injured after colliding with Golden Knights' Reaves

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman was forced from Friday's game in Vegas after a collision with Golden Knights winger Ryan Reaves sent him awkwardly into the boards.

Here's a look at the play, which occurred in the second period.

Head coach Jon Cooper said postgame that he doesn't believe Hedman will be out long term and that his injury isn't a concussion, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Entering Friday, the reigning Norris Trophy winner recorded four points in eight games while logging over 22 minutes per contest.
