Lightning Round: Victor Hedman records his 500th career assist in the NHL

Yesterday’s game against the Dallas Stars felt like a playoff game. Both teams didn’t want to lose and probably deserved at least one point, but the Tampa Bay Lightning happened to be more focused at the end of the third period, which resulted in two goals during the last minute. Anthony Cirelli led the Bolts with two goals on Saturday’s afternoon, but there was another player who contributed on a game-winning goal, while reaching a very important personal milestone.

500 APPLES FOR THE BIG SWEDE!!!

With the assist on Cirelli's game-winner, Hedman has reached 500 career assists!
