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

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

Hits 700 NHL points Hedman picked up three assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Impact 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 puts him third on team scoring behind Nikita Kucherov (85) and Brayden Point (54). So much for all the speculation that Hedman's career was in decline after just 49 points last season.

Four-point outburst leads way Hedman scored a goal and added three assists in a 7-4 win over Minnesota on Thursday.
Impact 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-tmer from the point in the first period to knot the game 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 campaign like he delivered in 2021-22. The 33-year-old has effectively rebounded from a 49-point season in 2022-23/
JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE
Adds two more helpers Hedman notched a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact 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.

Three-game, five-point streak Hedman had a three-apple night Thursday in a 5-4 win over the Golden Knights.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact Hedman missed 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.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Hedman (upper body) will play Saturday versus the Flames.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out Thursday Hedman (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Edmonton, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time call against Canucks Hedman (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision heading into Tuesday's matchup with Vancouver, per NHL.com.
Impact Hedman is off to a strong start to the 2023-24 campaign with 27 points through 29 games, including two goals and nine assists with the man advantage. If Hedman is unable to suit up versus the Canucks, Mikhail Sergachev should slide into a spot with the No. 1 power-play unit while Haydn Fleury should see the biggest uptick in ice time.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Can't finish contest Hedman (undisclosed) didn't play after the second period of Saturday's game versus the Kraken, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Hedman had a relatively modest 13:40 of ice time through two periods and wasn't available in the third or overtime. The 32-year-old had a hit, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in the contest. More should be known about his status ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Canucks. If Hedman can't play, Haydn Fleury should stick in the lineup, especially if Steven Stamkos (illness) is healthy enough to play in that contest.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dials up two man-advantage helpers Hedman registered two power-play assists in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Impact Hedman, who played his 1,000th NHL game Monday in a 4-0 win over the Stars, is in vintage form with five goals, 22 assists and 11 power-play points. His 49-point campaign from 2022-23 actually qualified as a down year by his standards, but he's found his stride by averaging a point per game to this point.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Posts assist in loss Hedman notched an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Hedman has a helper in each of the last four games, and two of them have come on the power play. The 32-year-old defenseman set up Anthony Cirelli's goal in the last minute of the second period. It's been a return to high-scoring form for Hedman this season -- he's at 23 points, 41 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 22 contests in 2023-24 after logging a mere 49 points in 76 outings a year ago.

Scores goal, assist Thursday Hedman scored a goal on one shot and picked up an assist versus Chicago on Thursday.
Impact Hedman has four multi-point games in his last seven contests but had been stuck in a four-game goal drought before Thursday's tally. The blueliner's helper was scored with the man advantage, giving him six power-play points on the year. Despite some speculation that Mikhail Sergachev could replace Hedman on the No. 1 unit, Hedman continues to hold onto his spot.

Another multi-point effort Hedman collected two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Both points came in the first period as the Lightning surged to a 4-0 lead. Hedman has produced multiple points in three straight games, and after a disappointing 2022-23 campaign he's bounced back with a vengeance, amassing three goals and 16 points in 13 contests, including a goal and five points on the power play. If there's a concern with the 32-year-old's play, it's with his lack of secondary stats -- after delivering 95 hits and 136 blocked shots in 76 games last season, Hedman has only six hits and 18 blocks so far in 2023-24.
