Point finished Wednesday's 7-6 win over New Jersey with a goal and two assists.
EDGE Analysis
Point's only blemish was going 1-for-7 in the faceoff circle. Other than that, it was positives across the board for the 23-year-old, with Point collecting his eighth, ninth, and 10th points of the season in Wednesday's barn burner. Half his points have come in Tampa Bay's last three games.

Point (undisclosed) is out for warmups and will play in Tuesday's contest against the Rangers, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point looked in doubt before the game when his coach Jon Cooper said "it didn't look good" regarding his status, but as evidenced by this news, proved him wrong. With Point healthy for the clash, expect him to operate as the team's top centerman on both 5-on-5 and power-play scenarios.

Point (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Dan Rosen of NHL.com, when asked about Point's status for Tuesday's contest, coach Jon Cooper told reporters "Right now, doesn't look good," so at this point, the star forward should probably be considered closer to doubtful than questionable against New York. If Point's unable to go, Carter Verhaeghe will likely draw into the lineup.

Point picked up an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Point's production has been slow to come. Yes, he has six points in seven games, but they have come in three contests, including a three-point game his first time on the ice. Since then, Point has just three points in six games. The longer the holdout, the harder the return. You may be able to prey on his owner and pry him out in a trade. It's worth a shot.

Point had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Point now has three goals and two assists in four games. He's an incredible talent and remarkably, the engine that drives the team's top line. Point is coming off a 92-point season and while hitting that height again will be tough, we're not ready to rule it out, either.

Per coach Jon Cooper, Point (hip) won't play Saturday against Florida or Sunday against the Hurricanes, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point has been skating with his teammates for nearly a week, but he'll need to log at least a few more practices before getting the green light to make his season debut. Another update on the 23-year-old pivot's status will surely be released prior to Thursday's road game against the Maple Leafs. In the meantime, Tyler Johnson will continue to center Tampa Bay's top line.

Point (hip) wore a regular jersey at Monday's practice, but won't be ready for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Panthers, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point is still recovering from offseason hip surgery and was originally expected to be sidelined until late October, but the fact that he's already been cleared for contact suggests he's significantly ahead of schedule. Although he won't be ready for Thursday's match, there's still an outside chance that he'll be given the green light ahead of Saturday's road game against Florida or Sunday's road contest against the Hurricanes. Another update on the 23-year-old pivot's status will undoubtedly surface prior to this weekend's back-to-back set.

Point is recovering from offseason hip surgery and is not expected to be ready for the start of the regular season on Oct. 3, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point's offseason surgery was kept pretty quiet as the main focus was getting him a new contract before the start of the regular season. For now, it sounds like he'll be ready to come back by late October but could still miss around 10 games if that's the case. A better view of his timeline should be available after preseason wraps up.

Point agreed to terms on a three-year, $20.25 million contract with Tampa Bay on Monday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Point set career highs in goals (41), assists (51) and power-play points (35) last season. The Calgary native figures to slot into a second-line role alongside Yanni Gourde and Tyler Johnson to start the 2019-20 campaign, along with featuring on the top power-play unit. While the 23-year-old figures to be a top-end fantasy option, reaching the 90-point threshold in back-to-back season might be a reach, though he won't be far off that mark.
