Lightning’s Victor Hedman: Another night of big production

Hedman scored the game-winning goal and added two assists with four shots in Wednesday’s 5-2 win over Dallas in Game 3.

Hedman scored what proved to be the game-winner when he buried a wrister from the high slot in the opening minute of the first period, giving Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead. It was Hedman’s 10th goal of the playoffs, which leads all defensemen. He also added assists on goals by Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point. With 20 points and a plus-17 rating in 22 games, Hedman is firmly in the Conn Smythe Trophy conversation as playoff MVP.
