Victor Hedman started the shooter in tonight's 5-1 victory against Detrorit.
His third goal of the season.
The goal was followed by an assist to 2-0.
The 30-year-old now has ten points, three goals and seven assists, in the first eight matches.
After 3-0, which came just under five minutes into the first period, Detroit replaced goalkeeper Thomas Greiss.
But it was still a clear 5-1 victory for Tampa Bay.
The victory is Tampa's third in a row and last season's Stanley Cup winner now tops the Central division.
- I like that tonight we jumped on them early and set the tone for the game after that, says Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper, according to nhl.com.
It is all the heavier for Patrik Nemeth and Christians Djoos Detroit who now have seven straight losses.
