  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Notches helper in return

    Hedman picked up an assist, fired five shots on goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

    Hedman missed Sunday's game versus the Ducks due to a lower-body injury, but he was back to his usual self Wednesday. He led the Lightning with 25:49 of ice time and earned his 10th point in nine March appearances with a helper on Nikita Kucherov's empty-net goal. Hedman is up to 70 points (12 goals, 58 assists), 147 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 62 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 69 contests overall.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Poised to return Wednesday

    Hedman (lower body) is slated to play in Wednesday's matchup with Boston, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

    Hedman looks set to return to action after missing just one game due to his lower-body issue. While the blueliner has scored just two goals in his last 10 outings, with both tallies coming in the same game, he did rack up eight helpers over that stretch for a point-per-game pace. With Hedman back in action, he should reclaim his spot at the point with the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Won't play Sunday

    Hedman (lower body) is considered day-to-day and will not be available Sunday against Anaheim, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    The day-to-day designation is good news, but Hedman will be absent for at least one game. The veteran blueliner has been productive as usual on the offensive end this year, racking up 12 goals and 69 points through 68 contests. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Bruins.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Three helpers against Isles

    Hedman picked up three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

    The veteran blueliner had a hand in the Lightning's last three tallies of the afternoon, including the eventual game-winner by Brayden Point with the man advantage in the second period. It was Hedman's first multi-point performance since Jan. 27, and while he's currently riding a 12-game goal drought, he's collected 12 assists over that stretch.

    Hedman notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Hedman has racked up 12 points over his last nine outings. The 33-year-old's spot on the top pairing and first power-play unit are as secure as ever, with Mikhail Sergachev (leg) out for the rest of the regular season. Hedman's at 51 points in 50 appearances this season, already better than his 49-point campaign a year ago. The defenseman has added 102 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Hits 700 NHL points

    Hedman picked up three assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

    His first helper was his 700th point. Only 29 defenders have achieved 700 career points in the NHL. Hedman heads into the All-Star break on a four-game, six-point scoring streak (one goal, five assists). He also has 50 points in 48 games, which is third on the team behind Nikita Kucherov (85) and Brayden Point (54). So much for all the speculation that Hedman's career was in decline after he posted just 49 points last season.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Four-point outburst leads way

    Hedman scored a goal and added three assists in a 7-4 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

    It was Hedman's seventh career four-point game, tied with Roman Josi (Nashville) for second among active defensemen. Erik Karlsson (Pittsburgh) has 10 to lead active defenders. Hedman's goal came on a one-timer from the point in the first period to knot the game at 1-1. He's put up eight goals and 44 points this season in just 43 games. That puts him on an 80-plus point pace like he delivered in 2021-22. The 33-year-old has effectively rebounded from a 49-point season in 2022-23.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Adds two more helpers

    Hedman notched a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.

    Both of Hedman's helpers came on the power play -- he set up Steven Stamkos in the opening period and Nikita Kucherov late in the third. The 33-year-old Hedman now has four assists in his last two games and 11 helpers in his previous eight contests. The four-time All-Star is up to 38 points (five goals, 33 assists) through 37 games this season.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Three-game, five-point streak

    Hedman had a three-assist night Thursday in a 5-4 win over the Golden Knights.

    Hedman is on a three-game, five-assist streak, and suddenly, he's at 32 points in 32 games. That's good enough for a tie with Evan Bouchard of the Oilers for fourth overall in NHL scoring from the blue line. Anyone still worried about a decline in the great Swede can park that thought. This is classic Hedman form.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Grabs helper in return

    Hedman logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

    Hedman missed the previous two games with an upper-body injury. He led all Lightning skaters with 24:41 of ice time in his return, so he should be considered virtually 100 percent going forward. The 32-year-old defenseman has 28 points (12 on the power play), 58 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 30 appearances this season as the Lightning's top blueliner.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Back in action

    Hedman (upper body) will play Saturday versus the Flames.

    Hedman missed two games with the injury. His return to the lineup will mean Haydn Fleury is a healthy scratch. Hedman has 27 points, including 11 on the power play, over 29 appearances.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Out Thursday

    Hedman (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Edmonton, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

    Hedman was also unavailable for Tampa Bay's 4-1 loss to Vancouver on Tuesday. He has five goals and 27 points in 29 contests this season. Darren Raddysh is expected to continue to receive power-play ice time while Hedman is shelved.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Out Tuesday

    Hedman is dealing with an upper-body injury and won't play Tuesday versus the Canucks, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Krenn adds that the Lightning have designated Hedman day-to-day for now, leaving some hope he'll be ready to suit up Thursday versus the Oilers. With Hedman out, Haydn Fleury figures to be in the lineup while Darren Raddysh could be an option to pick up power-play time.
