LOS ANGELES (SNN-TV) – The Lightning kicked off their West Coast trip in Los Angeles on Tuesday, at the newly minted Crypto.com Arena.
Victor Hedman had two goals and an assist in Tuesday night’s 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, despite being one of only four Tampa Bay defensemen who dressed after three were scratched due to injuries.
Hedman saw 32 minutes of ice time, his most in a regular-season game that has not gone to overtime. He also extended his point streak to four games as the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions pushed their winning streak to four.
Mathieu Joseph and Steven Stamkos also had a goal and an assist apiece for the Lightning, who have a 10-game winning streak over the Kings.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare also scored and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 32 shots.
Up next for the Lightning remain in Southern California to face Anaheim on Friday night.
