Point scored two big goals Friday, leading the Lightning to a 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Point, who became the franchise's first skater other than Steven Stamkos to score more than one goal this season, connected on a third-period tip-in to force Friday's extra stanza. The 26-year-old center sealed the win with his third goal of the season. Entering Friday, Stamkos had netted six of the Lightning's first 10 goals. When Point connected on the tying marker against the Panthers, it was the first time he and Stamkos skated on an even-strength shift Friday. He added a team-best five shots during the win.

Point scored a goal in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He now has a goal and assist in three games. Point is coming back from a severe quadriceps tear in last year's playoffs. It's healed, but there's still some rust on his game. Point will shed it soon enough.

Point notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Point helped out on the lone Lightning goal of the game, scored by Steven Stamkos in the second period. The 26-year-old Point sustained a torn quadriceps injury in the playoffs last year, but he's fully healthy heading into 2022-23. He should see regular usage as the Lightning's top center. He recorded 58 points in 66 regular-season games last season, while adding 176 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-5 rating in a similar role.

Point (quadriceps) has been cleared for the start of the training camp, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Point missed the bulk of the postseason due to his quadriceps injury, logging just nine of the Bolts' 23 contests in which he notched two goals and three assists. During the regular season, the 26-year-old Calgary native notched his fifth straight 20-goal season and fell just two points shy of a fourth 60-point campaign. With Point fully fit, he figures to slot into a second-line role and should be on the No. 1 power-play unit, making him a top-half fantasy target.

Point was dealing with a "significant tear" in his quad toward the end of the playoffs. He's expected to make a full recovery in a "few weeks," Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point missed 14 of the Lightning's last 16 playoff games due to his quad injury, which likely at least partially contributed to Tampa Bay's inability to get past the Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals. Point, who racked up 28 goals and 58 points through 66 regular-season appearances before adding five points through nine playoff contests this season, should be fully recovered well ahead of training camp in September.

EDGE Analysis
Point rejoined the Lightning for the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, logging an assist, but was kept out of the following three contests. The 26-year-old center has two goals and three assists in nine games this postseason.

Point (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't play Friday's Game 5 versus the Avalanche, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point will miss a third straight game with the injury, which may be an aggravation of his previous leg injury. The center's absence won't be made worse since Anthony Cirelli (arm) is on track to play in Friday's must-win contest.

Point (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Friday's Game 5 versus Colorado, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point was on the ice for an optional morning skate Friday, but his status for Game 5 will nonetheless boil down to a game-time decision. The 26-year-old forward has missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury.

Point (undisclosed) is expected to remain sidelined for Wednesday's Game 4 clash with Colorado, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point will miss his second straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury and 12th overall game this postseason. In Point's absence, Corey Perry should maintain his place on the No. 1 power-play unit while Riley Nash will fill out the lineup. At this point, it's hard to imagine Point suiting up again this postseason given how many games he has missed, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.
