Impact Hedman was given the regular-season finale against Detroit off Thursday but looks to be a full go for the playoffs. While the Swedish blueliner was nowhere near last season's point total (85), he still managed to record his eighth straight 45-plus point campaign. The emergence of Mikhail Sergachev has seen Hedman relegated to the No. 2 power-play unit but he should still offer top-end fantasy value heading into the postseason.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Will rest Thursday Hedman (rest) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Detroit, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

Impact This contest is Tampa Bay's regular-season finale, so Hedman will finish the campaign with nine goals and 49 points in 76 appearances. He should be back in the lineup for the start of the playoffs.

Three-point outburst not enough Hedman scored a goal and added two assists in a 7-4 loss to the Senators on Saturday.

Impact With Mikhail Sergachev out (personal), Hedman had the power play to himself, and two of the points (one goal, one assist) came with the man advantage. He had just six points (three goals, three assists) in his previous 22 games heading into Saturday. It was Hedman's first multi-point game since Feb. 23.

Mixed results in loss Hedman registered an assist but was met with a minus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The helper is nice and all, but it's probably of little consolation to Hedman in the big road loss. He's added two goals and another pair of assists over the last month (14 games), which is a disappointing stretch given the defenseman's sterling track record, though he's mixed it up with 18 hits and 21 blocked shots over that span.
