As expected, Point (illness) will return to the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point missed Thursday's loss to Vegas due to an illness, but he'll slot right back into a featured role Saturday, skating on Tampa Bay's top line and first power-play unit against the Coyotes. The 23-year-old forward has racked up 21 goals and 57 points in 57 games this campaign.

Point (illness) will likely return to action Saturday against Arizona, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point's status against the Coyotes has yet to be made official, but all signs currently point to him rejoining the lineup following a one-game absence. If that ends up being the case, the 23-year-old pivot will return to a top-six role and a spot on the Lightning's first power-play unit.

Point is under the weather and won't be available versus Vegas on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point is riding an 11-game point streak during which he's notched three goals, 12 helpers and 23 shots. With the Calgary native unable to suit up, coach Jon Cooper could opt to move Steven Stamkos to center and bump Ondrej Palat back up to the first line.

Point delivered an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Point now has points in 11 straight games. He's posted three goals and 12 helpers in that span. For the season, the 23-year-old has 57 points (21 tallies, 36 assists), 123 shots and a plus-29 rating. Especially when hot, Point is an elite scoring forward and a near-automatic activation for fantasy owners.

Point scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Point has 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) on his current 10-game point streak. No, he won't equal his outstanding 92-point sophomore season. But Point is delivering on a point-per-game pace. Use him well.

Point picked up two assists in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals were remarkably similar -- Point corralled the puck deep in the Columbus zone and found a defenseman out near the blue line, who then relayed it to Nikita Kucherov to do his thing. Point has been nearly as hot as his linemate lately, and over the last nine games the 23-year-old has piled up two goals and 13 points.

Point scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Point's scoring streak now stands at six games and nine points (two goals, seven assists) after putting up just two helpers in the six games before that. Point isn't a guy who usually slumps like that -- he's much more likely to produce like he is now. He's a hair from a point-per-game (51 in 52) and it's his third straight 20-goal season. And with more performances like this, Point should flirt with his third straight 30-goal season.

Point had a goal and an assist with two shots in a 4-2 win over Vegas on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Point opened the scoring with his 19th goal of the season midway through the first period and drew the primary assist on Steven Stamkos' game-winner in the third. Point has hit the scoresheet in each of the last four games (one goal, five assists) and has 48 points in 50 games on the season. He may not approach his 92 points of a year ago, but a 75 or 80-point campaign is still a distinct possibility.

Point picked up an assist, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Over his last five games, Point has six assists and a plus-8 rating. The center is up to 18 goals, 28 assists, 108 shots and a plus-20 rating in 49 contests overall. The one knock on his game currently is his 10-game goal drought, but the 23-year-old should be able to light the lamp soon enough.

Point posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Point's goal drought reached nine games, but he's helped out five times over his last four outings. The 23-year-old is unlikely to replicate last year's 41-goal, 92-point output, but he's up to 45 points, 103 shots and a plus-18 rating in 48 contests in 2019-20.
