Brayden Point Remains Without A Return Date
2 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point (lower body) isn't skating with the team and it's unknown when he's able to return to the lineup. The 26-year-old star, who has led the league in goals each of the last two postseasons, appeared to have hurt his right leg in Game 7 of the first-round matchup against Toronto and sat out the whole second-round series versus Florida. Head coach Jon Cooper sounds quite optimistic about Point's chances to feature in the Eastern Conference Finals. "Is Point closer to playing in round three than he was in round two? No question," Cooper said on Friday. "He's progressing. We've just got to see." Point has tallied two goals and two assists this postseason.
