Brayden Point "Extremely Probable" For Stanley Cup Final
2 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point (lower body) is "extremely probable" for this year's Stanley Cup Final, according to head coach Jon Cooper. Cooper made the comments after Tampa's 2-1 victory over the Rangers on Saturday, which sent the team to the final for a third consecutive year. The series against Colorado starts on Wednesday and Cooper noted that he's not sure if Point is ready for Game 1, but it appears that the talented forward is now very close to returning to action. Saturday's win was the 10th straight game Point missed. Tampa has done well without him, but his presence will be a massive boost for the series against the very strong Avalanche. Point sits on only four points in seven games this postseason, but he has led the league in playoff goals in each of the last two years.
