Among league's top defenders Hedman had a goal and two assists in an 8-0 win over Utah on Thursday.

Impact Hedman now has 57 points, including 13 goals, in 69 games this season, and he sits in a three-way tie with Rasmus Dahlin and Evan Bouchard for fourth in NHL scoring from the blue line. Hedman won't get a Norris nomination this year given the domination of Cale Makar, Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes, but that doesn't diminish his effectiveness for the Bolts.

Adds power-play assist Hedman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Hedman had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. That drought almost reached four, but he was able to help out on a Nikita Kucherov just before the third-period buzzer. The 34-year-old Hedman is up to 54 points (22 on the power play), 158 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 67 appearances. It's likely his best seasons have already happened, but Hedman remains a formidable scoring force from the blue line, especially as the quarterback of the Lightning's top-five power play, which is clicking at 25.8 percent this season.

Impact It was Hedman's 40th assist this year and his ninth 40-assist season. That moved him past Marty St. Louis and Nikita Kucherov for the most in Lightning history.

Good to go Tuesday Hedman (lower body) will play against Carolina on Tuesday.

Impact After missing one game, Hedman will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit. He has amassed 11 goals, 50 points, 141 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and 30 hits through 60 appearances this season. Tampa Bay will dress seven defenders and 11 forwards in Tuesday's lineup, making Mitchell Chaffee a healthy scratch.

Impact Hedman took the ice for pregame line rushes Saturday against the Bruins but ended up sitting out that contest, so his status will be worth monitoring leading up to puck drop Tuesday. If the veteran blueliner is unable to suit up against the Canes, Nick Perbix will draw back into the lineup. Hedman has provided 11 goals, 50 points and a plus-14 rating across 60 appearances in 2024-25.

Game-time call Saturday Hedman (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's divisional matchup against Boston, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Hedman was injured Thursday against the Sabres -- if he is unable to play Saturday, Nick Perbix will draw into the lineup, while Darren Raddysh would quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit. If Hedman misses his third game of the season, head coach Jon Cooper said the left-shot blueliner should be considered day-to-day.
