EDGE Analysis

Point had a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Point was involved in two of the Lightning's three power-play goals, giving his team a 6-3 lead early in the third before assisting on Steven Stamkos' goal which capped off the scoring. With 28 goals and 30 assists, Point needs to light the lamp two more times to reach 30 in both categories for the third time in his career.

Point (lower body) has not been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Predators, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Jon Cooper was hopeful the star center would be back in the lineup after just a one-game absence. Given that optimism, it's safe to assume Point's injury is not overly serious, though the Lightning will likely not risk anything with him since they've already clinched a playoff spot.

Point is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury after being a late scratch for Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point will miss at least one game with what's likely a nagging injury after he was held out of Wednesday's practice for maintenance reasons. The Lightning will roll with seven defensemen Thursday as Cal Foote enters the lineup. Point will aim to be ready to go for Saturday's game versus the Predators.

Point was held off the score sheet Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks, and has just one assist in his last six games.
EDGE Analysis
It's in sharp contrast to his previous six game streak (four goals, five assists). Point still has 43 face-off wins, 12 hits and 14 shots, but this micro drought comes at a tough time for fantasy managers.

Point had a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Point helped Alex Killorn tie the game at a goal apiece early in the second before adding a game-tying tally of his own 6:02 into the third. His goal was the last for either team until Steven Stamkos won it in overtime with Tampa Bay's third power-play goal of the night. With 25 goals and 51 points in 52 games, Point is flirting with averaging a point per game for the second time in his six-year career.

Point scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
After setting up Steven Stamkos for the tying goal with less than five minutes left in regulation, Point grabbed the rebound on a Stamkos shot in OT and found the back of the net himself. The 26-year-old has bounced back from an uncharacteristic four-game point drought with two goals and six points in the last five games, and on the season Point has piled up 24 goals and 48 points through 50 contests.
