  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Scores in return

    Point scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.

    Point missed a team meeting and was scratched Tuesday versus the Bruins. It was a one-game punishment for the 28-year-old center, and he made some amends by scoring a second-period tally Thursday. The center is up to 26 goals, 48 points, 89 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances. Point can be safely reinserted into all fantasy lineups as he pushes toward a third straight 40-plus-goal season.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Retakes first-line role

    Point (coach's decision) was back in his customary first-line role ahead of Thursday's matchup with Anaheim, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Point was held out of Tuesday's clash with the Bruins after missing a team meeting, but it appears he is back in head coach Jon Cooper's good graces. The 28-year-old center is on pace to reach the 90-point threshold for the third straight season and could set a new career-best mark in power-play points after having already racked up 12 goals and eight helpers with the man advantage.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Not playing Tuesday

    Point missed a team meeting and won't play Tuesday versus the Bruins, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    This is likely to be a one-game absence for Point as head coach Jon Cooper sends a message on accountability. Jack Finley is projected to play, while Anthony Cirelli and Nick Paul figure to receive a larger share of ice time in Point's absence.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Nets 600th NHL point

    Point scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Boston.

    It was his 600th NHL point. Point has 289 goals and 311 assists in 615 games. This season, he has 25 goals and 22 assists in 34 games, and he's on a four-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists). Point sits in a three-way tie with Mikko Rantanen and William Nylander for second in goals in the NHL with 24. But he's tallied those in just 34 games, compared to Nylander's 43 and Rantanen's 42. The only other player who comes close to that is Kirill Kaprizov (upper body), who has 23 in just 34 contests. Point's dominance is impressive.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Tied for second in NHL goal chase

    Point picked up the game-winning goal Tuesday in a 3-2 victory over Carolina.

    Point's scoring streak stands at three games and three points (one goal, two assists). He took a centering pass from Nikita Kucherov along the right boards and beat Pyotr Kochetkov from close range with just 52 seconds remaining. Point is tied with Mikko Rantanen for second in the NHL in goals with 24. He's also in a four-way tie for game-winning goals with six. Point is clutch.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Adds power-play helper

    Point logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

    Point has a goal and five helpers over his last five games, with three of those assists coming on the power play. He's still yet to be held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests this season. The 28-year-old center has 23 goals, 22 assists, 19 power-play points, 77 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 33 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Picks up assist

    Point notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

    Point has collected a goal and four assists over his last five outings since the end of a sizzling eight-game, 18-point streak. The center set up Victor Hedman's first-period tally Saturday. Point is up to 23 tallies, 21 helpers, 75 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 32 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Goal, two helpers in win

    Point scored a goal on three shots and dished two power-play assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

    The 28-year-old saw an eight-game point streak end Monday versus the Panthers, but he didn't take long to get going again. Point has been fantastic in December with seven goals and 14 assists over 10 contests. The center is up to 23 tallies, 19 assists, 68 shots on net, 18 power-play points and a plus-6 rating through 29 outings overall.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Point streak reaches eight games

    Point scored a goal and took two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Seven-game, 17-point streak

    Point picked up an assist Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Blues.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Deposits empty-netter

    Point scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Reaches 20-goal mark

    Point scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

    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 further, he has scored 12 goals and added 11 helpers over 12 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. Point has 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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Racks up four points in win

    Point scored a goal on three shots and added three assists in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Sets up goal in loss to Edmonton

    Point recorded an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Another four-point game

    Point produced two goals and two assists in 22:07 of ice time Sunday in a 4-2 win over Vancouver.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Second four-assist game in NHL

    Point had four assists in an 8-1 win over the Sharks on Thursday.

    Thursday's performance marked Point's second four-assist game in the NHL. He didn't log any assists in November, but he had 10 goals, including six power-play goals, across nine games last month. Overall, Point has 16 goals, nine assists and 46 shots over 20 games this season, and those snipes tie him with several players for third in the NHL.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Nets game-winning goal

    Point scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    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.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Gifted hat trick Wednesday

    Point scored three goals, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

    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.
