Victor Hedman has been on the ice at practice. He’s been on the ice for morning skates. Now it looks like he’ll be on the ice for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s outdoor contest against the Boston Bruins on Sunday night. Reports are that the Lightning captain will be ready to make his return as the team entertains the hockey world. While it’s not 100% official, everything points to The Big Swede playing in his first game since December 9th. Even his coach expects him to play.
Elbow surgery has kept the 35-year-old out for the longest stretch of his career as he’s missed 34 games this season.
