Tampa Bay Lightning No. 1 Defenseman Victor Hedman Lands Back on Injured Reserve

On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Lightning placed Victor Hedman on injured reserve, meaning the captain and No. 1 defenseman will miss at least the next three games.
After leaving Tuesday's game in Montreal late in the first period, Victor Hedman did not return and had just returned last weekend after missing nearly a month.
Averaging heavy minutes and with a Conn Smythe on his résumé, Victor Hedman averages over 21 minutes a game and won the Conn Smythe Trophy .
The club recalled defenseman Declan Carlile from Syracuse to fill the roster spot, as Hedman joins fellow two-time Cup champions Andrei Vasilevskiy, Erik Cernak and Ryan McDonagh on injured reserve.
The absence comes ahead of key dates at New Jersey, the New York Islanders and defending Stanley Cup champion Florida, testing Tampa Bay's depth after winning 17 of its first 30 games this season.
