Victor Hedman Doubtful to Play in Round 1
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (personal) isn't expected to play during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports. Before Tuesday's Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper told reporters Hedman's return is on "the doubtful side for this series." The Lightning captain has missed a month of action due to illness and personal reasons. With Hedman in and out of the lineup in 2025-26, Darren Raddysh has been outstanding in an expanded role all season on Tampa's blue line and also made a mark in Sunday's Game 1 against Montreal, scoring a power-play goal.
