Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh has been a good story for the Atlantic Division club. The undrafted blueliner broke out for the Lightning this past season, setting new career-highs with six goals, 27 assists, and 33 points in 82 games. With this, he proved that he can provide solid offense from the point at the NHL level, and he has also translated it to this campaign.
Raddysh, 29, is on pace to set new career-highs yet again, as he has five goals, 26 assists, and 31 points in just 58 games this season. With the Lightning having 15 games remaining, he has a very good shot of surpassing last season's offensive totals.
Raddysh has also been playing some of his best hockey of the season as of late. Over his last seven games, the 6-foot-1 defenseman has two goals, eight points, and a plus-2 rating. This is great production from a defenseman, and the Lightning are certainly benefitting from it.
It will be interesting to see how long Raddysh can maintain his hot streak from here. He is not showing too many signs of slowing down.
