Hedman picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

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. Hedman has 11 goals, 40 assists and 146 shots in 62 games this season, which puts him in a tie for fifth in the NHL from the blue line.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hedman (lower body) will be on the ice for warmups and is a game-time decision for Tuesday's road meeting with the Hurricanes, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Contrary to a prior report, Hedman (lower body) will not play Saturday against the Bruins, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

EDGE Analysis

Hedman was on the ice for pregame line rushes, but his injury will keep him out of at least Saturday's lineup. Tampa Bay kicks off a three-game road trip against the Hurricanes on Tuesday. Due to Hedman's absence, Darren Raddysh will quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit against Boston.

Hedman (undisclosed) is expected to play against Boston on Saturday, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Hedman won't miss additional action after being limited to 2:57 of playing time against Buffalo on Thursday. He has amassed 11 goals, 50 points, 141 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and 104 blocked shots through 60 appearances this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

Hedman was injured Thursday against the Sabres. If Hedman can't play, Nick Perbix will draw into the lineup, and Darren Raddysh will 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. After Saturday's game, the Lightning will have two days off before a road meeting with the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Hedman suffered an undisclosed injury in Thursday's game versus the Sabres, and head coach Jon Cooper was uncertain about the defenseman's availability Saturday against the Bruins, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Losing Hedman would be a massive blow to the Lightning's defense. He plays significant minutes in all situations and has earned 50 points over 60 contests this season. A status update may not be available until warmups Saturday, as the Lightning's game that day is a home matinee.

Hedman had two goals and an assist in a 6-2 win over Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hedman made it 4-1 in the second period with a point from the left circle that sailed over Elvis Merzlikins' glove. His second was a one-timer from the point on a third-period power play to put the Bolts up 5-2. It was a milestone night for the defender -- Hedman passed Rob Blake for 20th in points by a defenseman in NHL history (778).

Hedman logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Hedman also had four shots on net and two blocked shots. The Swedish blueliner racked up seven points over eight games in February and continues to be a top defenseman in fantasy for his all-around production. For the season, he's up to nine goals, 38 assists, 20 power-play points, 134 shots on net, 98 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 56 appearances.

Hedman scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Hedman scored on a slap shot from the point on a 5-on-3 power play. He now has nine goals, and he's one snipe shy of putting up double-digit goals for the 10th time in his last 12 seasons. Hedman's 45 points put him squarely in the top-10 in the NHL. And his 96 blocked shots project to 140 on the season -- that would be a new career mark if he can sustain the effort.
