Unavailable Sunday Hedman (undisclosed) won't play against Vancouver on Sunday, according to Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

Won't return Saturday Hedman (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against Florida, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Hedman also missed Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers. He has 12 assists in 15 appearances this year. Tampa Bay sometimes dresses 11 forwards and seven defensemen, but with Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) also out, Tampa Bay is down to six healthy blueliners on the active roster, so Darren Raddysh will probably serve on the third pairing instead of acting as the seventh defenseman. Tampa Bay dressing 12 forwards should also result in Jakob Pelletier making his season debut.

Not playing Wednesday Hedman (undisclosed) will not play Wednesday versus the Rangers, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Hedman will be forced to miss at least one game due to the injury. The 34-year-old defenseman's absence will be covered by Max Crozier returning from an undisclosed injury of his own. Hedman's next chance to play is Saturday on the road versus the Panthers.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Hedman missed practice Tuesday with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact At this point, Hedman should be considered questionable heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers. The veteran blueliner is currently riding a four-game point streak, racking up four helpers, including a pair with the man advantage. Unless Max Crozier (undisclosed) is ready to face the Rangers, the Bolts will need to bring somebody up from AHL Syracuse if Hedman can't play Wednesday.

Hagel lifts surging Lightning to 3-2 win over Capitals

Brandon Hagel scored the tiebreaking goal 8:42 into the third period and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Washington Capitals 3-2

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Dishes an apple Sunday Hedman tallied an assist, put two shots on net and blocked two attempts in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win against the Golden Knights.

Impact Hedman provided the primary helper on Brandon Hagel's opening goal of the game. The 34-year-old Hedman used the assist to grab his eighth helper of the season, which is currently good for the joint-lead among defensemen alongside Dmitry Orlov, Cale Makar and Lane Hutson. With the Lightning heating up in all aspects of the game, Hedman should continue to serve as a steady presence offensively from the blue line. Look for him to challenge the 60-point mark for the fourth time in five years and hold top-tier fantasy value along the way.
