Point scored his third goal of the series in Sunday's Game 5 clincher against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Point racked up seven points in five games versus the Bruins, including goals in each of the last two outings. The center is averaging 18:56 of ice time in the playoffs, which includes 2:23 with the man advantage. Looking ahead to the Eastern Conference finals, the Calgary native appears to be firmly cemented in his second-line role and should continue to get plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net.

Point scored a goal and added three assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Bruins in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
The Bolts' second line turned the tables on the Bruins' top unit from Game 1, as Point assisted on all three Tampa goals -- including Yanni Gourde's power-play marker in the first period -- before sealing the win with an empty-netter in the dying seconds. Point managed only three points in five games in the first round against New Jersey, but the 22-year-old already has five points (one goal, four assists) in two games against Boston.

EDGE Analysis
Point now has three points in two games this postseason after recording a sharp 32-goal, 66-point regular season. Point's growth this season was exponential -- he tallied 26 more points, including 14 more goals, than his rookie season. We love his fantasy future.

Point scored two goals and recorded five shots on net in a 7-3 victory over the Rangers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year center continues to excel and has reached the 30-goal mark of the season. He had a impressive rookie campaign, recording 18 goals and 40 points in 68 games, but he's taken a big jump this season with 30 goals and 64 points in 78 contests. His shots on goal, plus-minus, and PIM have all increased too. The only complaint owners could possibly have with Point is despite the increase in scoring, his power-play numbers haven't improved.

Point got it done in all three phases of the game during Thursday's 7-6 win over the Islanders, finishing with a shorthanded goal, a power-play assist and an even-strength assist.
EDGE Analysis
Point came in with just a single assist over the previous six games, but a matchup with the league's most porous defense was just what the doctor ordered for him to get out of this slump. The 22-year-old forward's one of many Lightning players turning in fantastic seasons, as Point now sits at 28 goals and 61 points through 74 games.

Point scored the game winner in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
It was Point's only point, but he rounded out his stat line with three shots, one blocked shot, one hit and a plus-3 rating. The 21-year-old has been clutch this season, firing home three OT winners among his 27 goals, and with seven goals and 11 points in his last 12 games he seems poised to help the Lightning lock up the President's Trophy with a big stretch run.

EDGE Analysis

Point scored two goals -- one on the power play -- during Tuesday's 4-2 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year pivot has now marked the scoresheet in five consecutive games for three goals and three assists. He's up to 23 tallies and 29 helpers for the campaign, and Point is quickly establishing himself as one of the premiere two-way centers in the league. His primary matchup Tuesday was against Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, after all. It's also worth noting that while Point has played with a number of different wingers this season, it hasn't hindered his offensive production.

EDGE Analysis
Point's magical season continues. His point streak now stands at four games and four points (one goal, three assists) and he sits with 50 on the season. This second-year player has become an important fantasy asset and at 22, his future is very bright.

EDGE Analysis
Point was a game-time decision with his undisclosed injury, but fortunately it looks like he's set to go. The 21-year-old center has been a blessing for fantasy owners this season, posting 20 goals and 48 points so far in his second NHL campaign
