During a recent NHL game, Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning scored an equalizing goal, bringing the score to 1-1 with a powerful shot from the point. This goal, which came from Hedman's second in consecutive games, also placed him at the eighth-most goals in Lightning franchise history and third-most by a Swedish defenseman in NHL history. Earlier, Joel Eriksson Ek of the Minnesota Wild opened the scoring against Lightning's goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, with an assist from Brock Faber, just 5:17 into the first period, leaving 14:43 on the clock. Additionally, Lightning's coach Jon Cooper compared Faber's playing style to that of Bruins' Charlie McAvoy.
Slick pass/assist here by #mnwild Brock Faber. I asked #tblightning Jon Cooper about Faber and he said the former Gopher reminds him of Bruins' Charlie McAvoy. Some high praise https://t.co/ky89qPJAEi
#Bolts answer right back as Victor Hedman blasts home a shot from the point for his second goal in as many games. That gives him sole possession of the eighth-most goals in Lightning franchise history and the third-most goals by a Swedish defenseman in NHL history. 1-1 game.
