Victor Hedman Notches Three Assists In Season-Opening Win
2 months agoTampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman tallied three assists in Friday's season-opening 4-1 win over Carolina. He collected two helpers on the power play and had one on an empty-net goal. The new Lightning captain logged one block and two hits on the defensive end while having two shots on goal and finishing with a plus-one rating in 23:11 of ice time. Hedman is a Rolls-Royce defenseman, and the captaincy might further elevate his game in 2024-25. Tampa Bay was scheduled to have a rematch with the Hurricanes on Saturday, but the game has been postponed. The team returns to action Tuesday night versus the Canucks, who have struggled in their first couple of outings of the season.
