The defenseman has been a key contributor in the first postseason of his 12-year NHL career, with four assists and a plus-94 SAT in 12 games, tied with Victor Hedman for the Tampa Bay lead at the position. That's after Bogosian had a minus-39 SAT in 19 regular-season games with the Buffalo Sabres. Signed to a one-year contract by the Lightning on Feb. 24 after his contract with the Sabres was terminated two days earlier, Bogosian's average 5-on-5 time on ice per game is 17:26 in the playoffs, up from 13:47 in eight regular-season games with Tampa Bay. He ranks fifth among Lightning players in the postseason behind defensemen Ryan McDonagh (21:12), Hedman (20:01), Mikhail Sergachev (17:55) and Erik Cernak (17:37). The big jump in SAT, a puck possession metric, suggests Bogosian is helping to drive team offense by way of shot attempts when he's on the ice. He is tied with Sergachev for second among Tampa Bay defensemen in postseason shots (26) and has been skating with Hedman on the top pair, proving his reliability at even strength.
