6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (upper body), who got injured last Friday, will miss at least two games this week. The big Swede already sat out Saturday's big 7-1 loss at Arizona, but he's still not ready to return. There's also a chance that he'll miss Tampa's back-to-back set at the weekend against Ottawa and Montreal. It's a bitter blow for the Bolts, as the 2018 Norris Trophy winner had just started to get going in the new season. Ryan McDonagh and Anton Stralman have formed the team's new top defensive pairing, while Slater Koekkoek has taken Hedman's place in the lineup. He logged 15:27 in his season debut against Arizona, finishing with one shot on goal, two hits, and a minus-two rating.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
