LOS ANGELES (AP) All-Star defenseman Victor Hedman is sitting out of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s game at Los Angeles.
The Lightning made the announcement Monday, shortly before the opening faceoff.
Hedman participated in the pregame warmup, but left early. The Lightning didn’t immediately announce why Hedman sat out for the first time this season.
The Swedish defenseman has seven goals and 31 assists in his outstanding season for the Lightning. Hedman leads all NHL defensemen in assists and ranks third overall in the NHL while playing nearly 24+ minutes per game.
Luke Witkowski took Hedman’s place in the Tampa Bay lineup. Witkowski fought Los Angeles’ Kyle Clifford just 79 seconds into the game.
