Impact The helper was Hedman's first point in three games since he returned from missing two contests due to a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has had few dry spells this year while serving as the Lightning's unquestioned top blueliner.

Impact Hedman fired one shot, blocked two shots and laid one hit in his return. Get him back in your lineup. Hedman has 25 points, including 21 helpers, in just 27 games. He could challenge for another 70-plus point season this year.

Set to play Hedman (lower body) will play against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

Impact Hedman will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit after missing the last two games. He has generated four goals, 25 points, 64 shots on net and 47 blocked shots across 26 appearances this season. With Hedman back in the lineup, Declan Carlile will be a healthy scratch versus the Blue Jackets.

Game-time call Tuesday Hedman (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Columbus on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Hedman looks poised to return following a two-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. Prior to his absence, the veteran blueliner was stuck in a 10-game goal drought but racked up nine helpers during that stretch, including four with the man advantage. Look for Hedman to rejoin the No. 1 power-play unit if given the all-clear ahead of puck drop Tuesday.

Won't play Saturday Hedman (lower body) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Kraken, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Impact Hedman will miss a second straight game with the injury. Declan Carlile will be in the lineup since the Lightning are missing both Hedman and J.J. Moser (undisclosed). Hedman's next chance to play is Tuesday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Saturday Hedman is expected to be a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt versus Seattle, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Hedman was a late scratch Thursday because of the injury. He has four goals and 25 points in 26 appearances in 2024-25. If Hedman can't play Saturday, then Declan Carlile will presumably make his NHL season debut after being recalled from AHL Syracuse.

Kucherov's 6 points, Guentzel's hat trick leads Lightning to 8-3 romp over Flames

Nikita Kucherov had a goal and five assists, Jake Guentzel scored a hat trick and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Calgary Flames 8-3

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Late scratch Thursday Hedman (lower body) is a late scratch for Thursday's game against Calgary, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Hedman is regarded as day-to-day. He has four goals and 25 points in 26 outings in 2024-25. The blueliner was on the ice for the pregame warmups, and there was no prior indication that he was in danger of missing the game. However, Steve Santini skated as an extra for the warmups, perhaps as an insurance policy in case Hedman proved to be unavailable. Either way, Santini will probably draw into the lineup due to Hedman's absence.
