The Tampa Bay Lightning has gotten off to a tremendous start this season, bringing home victories in seven of the nine games they’ve played so far this season. Unfortunately, where there is good news, there is bound to be a little bit of bad news somewhere in the vicinity.
As many Lightning fans know by now, defenseman Victor Hedman was forced to leave last night’s encounter with the Vegas Golden Knights after colliding with the boards thanks to a late hit from Golden Knights forward Ryan Reaves. Hedman was unable to return to the game.
