Point scored a goal and took two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Point has been on fire of late and his third-period goal pushed his impressive streak to eight games, a span in which he's racked up six goals and 12 assists while posting a plus-five rating. He's likely to regress at some point, though, as his 28.6 shooting percentage during the streak isn't sustainable, but there's no question the 28-year-old is going through a sizzling stretch in December. Over the course of the full season, Point has racked up 39 points (22 goals, 17 helpers) in 27 games, and he could reach the 90-point plateau for a third straight campaign if he keeps up this level of production for a few more weeks.

Point picked up an assist Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Point's scoring streak stands at seven games and 17 points (five goals, 12 assists). He's the NHL's third-highest goal scorer, but he's really shown off his playmaking on this streak. Point had five assists in his first 18 games this season. It's not especially surprising, though -- his 35.6 shooting percentage is unsustainably high, and in fact, it's 16.6 percent above his career mark (19.0). Point remains on a career pace and is headed for his first triple-digit campaign.

Point scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
For much of the game, it didn't look like the Lightning's top line would need to get involved. The Blue Jackets then scored three times in the third period, and Point answered with the empty-netter, extending his point streak to six games (five goals, 11 assists). The 28-year-old center is cruising at a career-best pace with 21 goals, 16 assists, 59 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 25 appearances. He's also shooting 35.6 percent, and while he's been over 20 percent in the last two seasons, he could regress a bit as the campaign progresses.

Point scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Point became the third player to reach the 20-goal mark this season when he put the Lightning ahead 2-1 at 13:21 of the first period. The center is on a remarkable run with four goals and 11 assists over his last five games, and going back farther, he has scored 12 goals and added 11 helpers over 12 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. Point has a total of 36 points (16 on the power play), 56 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 24 appearances this season. He's on pace to challenge for his first 100-point campaign.

Point scored a goal on three shots and added three assists in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Point's goal and two of his helpers came on the power play. This was his third four-point effort in the last four games, a span in which he has three goals and 10 assists. The 28-year-old center is up to 19 tallies, 15 assists, 52 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 23 appearances this season. Point can be just as good as linemate Jake Guentzel and offers a strong complement to his other winger, Nikita Kucherov, and that's been abundantly clear in recent games.

Point recorded an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Point couldn't repeat the back-to-back four-point performances he delivered in the wins over San Jose and Vancouver on Dec. 5 and Dec. 8, respectively. However, the 28-year-old playmaker extended his solid run of play by cracking the scoresheet for the eighth time across his last 10 games, with 17 points (10 goals, seven assists) in that span. Point has 30 points in only 22 appearances in 2024-25.

Point produced two goals and two assists in 22:07 of ice time Sunday in a 4-2 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Point has now registered back-to-back four-point games to start December. The right-shot center has six helpers over his last two games, which is one more than the five he generated through the first two months of the campaign. The 28-year-old is a model of consistency, as he's been held off the scoresheet on just four occasions through 21 appearances. Point leads Tampa Bay in goals with 18 (10 on the power play), and he's added 11 assists and a plus-5 rating.

Point had four assists in an 8-1 win over the Sharks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
What an outburst. It was his second four-assist game in the NHL. Point had gone 0-for-November from a playmaking perspective, but he had 10 goals, including six power-play goals, in 9 games last month. Overall, Point has 16 goals, nine assists and 46 shots in 20 games this season, and those snipes tie him with a trio of players for third in the NHL.

Point scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Point has been on a roll in recent weeks, and he came through at a time when the Lightning needed him the most to secure the win just 1:01 into overtime. Point has found the back of the net in all but one of his eight appearances in November, tallying 10 goals in that stretch.

Point scored three goals, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old struck twice in the first period to give the Bolts a 2-0 lead, but Point had very little to do with the goal that gave him his fifth career hat trick. With the score tied 3-3 midway through the third, Point cleared the puck out of the Tampa Bay end by chipping it off the boards and down the ice, but when Washington goalie Charlie Lindgren went to handle it, he inadvertently backhanded it into his own net. Point is riding a wave of good puck luck right now, though -- in five games since returning from a lower-body injury, he's erupted for seven goals on only 16 shots.
