Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman, who stepped away from the team last March for mental and physical reasons, is now fully recovered and ready for training camp following a productive summer. Despite playing only 33 games last season due to injuries and his leave, he recorded 17 points. The Lightning added veteran John Carlson to the roster, potentially easing the load on Hedman. Meanwhile, Maple Leafs GM John Chayka has revamped the front office, and Bruins center Fraser Minten is seeking a contract extension after a strong season.
