Point scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
He put the Bolts up 3-2 early in the second period when he redirected a pass into an open net behind Pyotr Kochetkov. Point has eight points (three goals, five assists) over his past six games. His 9.5 shooting percentage remains abysmal relative to his 18.4 career average, so expect a goal run soon enough. Point has really started to warm up -- he had 11 points in his first 22 games prior to this run. The window to get him in trade is closing.

Point collected two assists in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old center appears to be back in form after a rough start to the season, and then a seven-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Point was blanked in his return Dec. 8 against the Leafs, but since then, he's gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, racking up two goals and five helpers during his longest point streak so far in 2025-26.

Point scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in an 8-4 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Point's goal early in the third period gave the Lightning a 7-3 lead. The star center has had a difficult season, but he has put up back-to-back two-point games this week (two goals, two assists). Point started the season with a three-point effort against the Sens on opening night, and he hadn't put up more than a single point until Tuesday night. This could be a good sign, and you might still be able to leverage his future out of a frustrated manager. Point is far better than the 15 points he has put up in 24 games.

Point scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Point's goal opened the game early in first period, putting to an end the Lightning's goal drought at 130:43. The team had been shut out its last two games. He drove around the Habs' defender inside the blue line and went in alone on Jakub Dobes, knifing it over the netminder's right shoulder from the right circle. The goal was Point's fourth of the season and first in 10 games (two assists). It came in his second game back from missing seven with an undisclosed injury. His production (four goals and nine assists in 23 games) has been fantasy hockey's biggest disappointment this season. Point's pedigree -- he has averaged 46 goals and 89 points over each of the last three seasons -- means a rebound is coming.

Point (undisclosed) fired four shots on net and added one hit and a minus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the prior seven games, Point returned to the lineup Monday and slotted right back onto the top power-play unit while tying for the team lead in shots on net. It's been a rough season so far for the 29-year-old center, who has just three goals and 11 points in 22 games, but the time off may have allowed him to get re-focused in addition to getting healthy.

The 29-year-old had gotten off to a somewhat slow start to the 2025-26 campaign prior to his absence, recording just three goals, eight assists, eight blocked shots, three hits and six PIM while averaging 18:52 of ice time over 21 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Point's move to injured reserve simply frees up a roster spot for the Lightning, should they need it. The 29-year-old is eligible to return at any time. He has already missed five games and does not have a timeline to return at this point.
