EDMONTON, Alberta — When the Tampa Bay Lightning were still in Toronto, they enjoyed some fresh air outside at the football stadium inside the bubble.

Victor Hedman kicked and made a 50-yard field goal, soccer style, perfectly splitting the uprights.

Is there anything this guy can’t do?

Hedman did it all on and off the ice for the Lightning on the way to winning the Stanley Cup, and the big Swedish defenseman was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after the Lightning won the Stanley Cup on Monday night, eliminating Dallas in six games, 2-0.

Even with Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point filling the scoresheet, it was impossible to overstate Hedman’s value to Tampa Bay offensively, defensively and in the leadership department in the absence of injured captain Steven Stamkos.

Five years after Tampa Bay’s run to the final when coach Jon Cooper said Hedman “put us on his back,” he scored 10 goals, saved many others and helped carry his team to a title.

“Over the years you can kind of see his confidence grow, his ability to make plays just at the next level,” longtime teammate Tyler Johnson said. “He’s really just grown into the beast he is now.”

Hedman averaged 26 minutes and put up 22 points during the Lightning’s 25-game ride from round-robin play through to the final. The 29-year-old skated almost a full hour during the Lightning’s five-overtime victory against Columbus in the first round and he was a horse again in the double OT loss to Dallas in Game 5.

A Norris Trophy finalist as the NHL’s top defenseman four years in a row and the 2018 winner, Hedman controlled the play and made the playoffs a personal showcase.
