Victor Hedman Stats

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman will miss Friday's matchup against Winnipeg for personal reasons. He has returned home to be with his wife as the couple is expecting their second child. It's the third game Hedman misses this season. The former Norris Trophy winner had a quiet start to 2022-23, but he has picked up the pace lately and exits the lineup after having a run of 13 points in 10 games. Hedman had managed 25 points in 35 games for the whole campaign. Tampa's No. 1 defenseman has spent a lot of time with Mikhail Sergachev lately, but the Russian rearguard will now be joined by Nick Perbix on Friday. The 24-year-old rookie is also set for second power-play duty, so he could be an intriguing fantasy piece for Friday's slate.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman was in a giving mood in the final game of 2022, recording three assists in a 5-3 win over Arizona. Two of his helpers came with the man advantage. Hedman has recovered well from a slow start and heads into 2023 with a run of 11 points in eight games. He's on 23 points overall in 33 games with 68 shots, 51 hits and 58 blocks. By averaging over two shots on goal, Hedman has been a busy man in the offensive zone, but he has lit the lamp just once so far and will definitely hope for more puck luck in 2023.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (upper body) appears ready to rejoin the lineup Saturday versus Buffalo after missing two games. He is taking pregame warmups, as is Nicholas Paul (undisclosed), who made an early exit Thursday against Carolina. Hedman has been in beast mode at both ends of the ice this season and is looking to add to eight points, 16 blocks and 14 hits on Saturday. He's gone scoreless just twice in nine previous outings this season, and he should be an automatic starter for fantasy managers when healthy.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman missed his first game of the season Tuesday versus Ottawa, and he's now listed day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Hedman was a game-time decision for the match and ended up not playing to focus on treating his ailment. The Lightning lost a massive part of their team, but they were still able to sneak a 4-3 victory. Mikhail Sergachev picked up most of the slack and ended up logging a season-high 25:04. He had a goal and an assist in the contest. The Russian rearguard will continue to play a huge part until Hedman is ready to return to action.
