Tampa Bay defensive duo in the spotlight over in Sweden

The Bolts top blueliners will play together in the World Cup tournament for Team Sweden.

With the Swedish World Cup squad having their first official practice today, there was an opportunity to speak with the two Tampa Bay Lightning players, Victor Hedman and Anton Strålman, after practice.

Both are looking forward to what they describe as a great tournament. When it comes to the Swedish team and the first practice, Anton Strålman said “I think the team looks amazing. I actually realized the other day; I am the oldest defender on the team, it’s insane. There are plenty of good characters in this group that can make a difference and take charge when needed.
