Will play Monday Hedman, as expected, will be in action versus Tampa Bay on Monday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hedman rejoined the club after spending time away to deal with a family matter and will head right back to the top power-play unit. In his last 10 outings, the defender racked up two goals and eight helpers -- including a trio of power-play points -- and figures to be a top-end fantasy play Monday.

Could play Monday Hedman (personal) may be in the lineup Monday against the Capitals, reports NHL.com.

Impact Hedman practiced Sunday for the second straight day after arriving in Toronto and looked great on the ice. "He'd been skating back in Tampa for the few days that he wasn't here, so he hasn't missed a beat," said Bolts coach Jon Cooper. Monday's game is Tampa's first in the round-robin portion of the postseason tournament.

Could practice Saturday Coach Jon Cooper told reporters he expects to have Hedman (personal) in attendance at practice Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Fantasy players will no doubt breathe a sigh of relief to see the elite defender rejoining the club ahead of Monday's clash with Washington. In 66 games this year, Hedman racked up 11 goals and 44 helpers, including 22 points with the man advantage. While he figures to carry a high salary in DFS contests, the 28-year-old blueliner may still be worth it given his offensive productivity.

Will rejoin team Friday Hedman (personal) is scheduled to join his teammates in Toronto on Friday, NHL.com's Bryan Burns reports.

Impact Hedman remained in Tampa Bay when the Lightning traveled to Toronto on Sunday to attend to a personal matter, but he'll enter the bubble Friday in time to log a few practices ahead of the Lightning's first round-robin game against the Capitals on Monday. The Norris Trophy finalist racked up 11 goals and 55 points in 66 games during the regular season, making him one of the top options among defensemen for those participating in playoff pools.

Officially ruled out for exhibition Hedman (personal) will not take part in Wednesday's exhibition clash with the Panthers, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact The news shouldn't come as a surprise considering Hedman didn't travel with the team to Toronto. The blueliner's potential absence would open the door for Mikhail Sergachev to jump up to the No. 1 power-play unit. Even if Hedman misses some of the round-robin games, he figures to remain a top-end target in postseason pools and DFS contests once the Lightning start playing elimination games.

Won't make initial trip Hedman won't accompany the team to Toronto on Sunday while he tends to a "personal matter," Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact The details of Hedman's absence remain unclear, but he will stay back with the team's strength coach before heading to Toronto on Friday. As of now, Hedman's status for the NHL's restart doesn't appear in doubt, but check back in the coming days to see his status.

Carlson, Hedman and Josi named NHL Norris Trophy finalists

Washington’s John Carlson, Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman and Nashville’s Roman Josi have been named the finalists for the NHL’s James Norris Memorial Trophy

JULY 20, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Finalist for Norris Trophy Carlson is among the finalists for the Norris Trophy, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

Impact Carlson's presence on the list of finalists is not surprising given that he was fourth among NHL defensemen with 15 goals and the league leader in blueliner points (60) in 69 games. The 30-year-old faces stiff competition from Nashville's Roman Josi and Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman for the trophy, but his glowing offensive production could be enough to put him over the top when all the votes are counted.
