Video: Lightning help honor Mattias Ohlund in Vancouver

Flanked by his wife and kids, Mattias Ohlund was inducted into the Vancouver Canucks’ Ring of Honor on Friday night as the Lightning visited Vancouver.

Ohlund spent more than a decade with the Canucks as one of their key defenseman who could also throw his body around. He’s their all-time leading goal scorer and point leader among defenseman. His career ended with the Lightning so it was no surprise that the Canucks honored him when the two teams met. Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman remain the only two Lightning players to have played with Ohlund; assistant coach Rick Bowness also had the same role in Vancouver during Ohlund’s tenure.
