Hedman 'energized' ahead of first game for Lightning since last March

What this means

NEW YORK -- Victor Hedman is feeling lighter in mind and body as he begins his 18th NHL season. Hedman was back in the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday for the first time since March 19. He returned after missing the end of last season while on a leave of absence so he could prioritize his own mental health.
