Quick Strikes: Hedman sets franchise record with his 200th assist

Last night was a happy night in Lightning Land as Tampa picked up a decisive 4-1 victory against divisional rival Detroit. [Raw Charge]

After writing his name atop the record books for points by a Lightning defenseman a few days ago, Hedman added another feather to his cap last night. With eight more years in Tampa, expect the franchise records to feature many more milestones by the big Swede.

Of course nothing is that simple with the Bolts. We can’t have nice things, as evidenced by losing Bishop in the first period. The Lightning currently have five of their starting players injured.
