Victor Hedman had two goals and an assist, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Thursday night.

Tampa Bay also got goals from Ondrej Palat and Anthony Cirelli, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 26 saves.

Hedman, who has five goals and 17 assists this season, has been critical of himself for several defensive miscues recently.

Brandon Saad and Pavel Buchnevich scored for the Blues. Ville Husso stopped 31 shots.

St. Louis starting goaltender Jordan Binnington and defenseman Justin Faulk were placed into COVID-19 protocols before the game. They joined center Tyler Bozak, who went on the list Tuesday.

The Blues begin a home-and-home series at Florida next Thursday night.
