Point was a surprise scratch on Tuesday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Considering he is being held out for disciplinary reasons, Point will likely draw back into the Lightning lineup for their game against the Ducks on Thursday.
Point has not played since November 3rd, missing four straight. He has practiced regularly with the team the past several days and will return to the ice on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Before his injury, Point was enjoying another productive campaign, scoring 13 points (8G / 5A) through 12 games.
Point has not played since November 3rd, missing three straight. He will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday but appears to be nearing a return, participating in drills at practice on Friday. Before his injury, Point was enjoying another productive campaign, scoring 13 points (8G / 5A) through 12 games.
Point played just 3:47 before leaving Sunday's loss in Winnipeg with a lower-body injury, and will miss a second straight game on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Before his injury, Point was enjoying another productive campaign, scoring 13 points (8G / 5A) through 12 games. Mitchell Chaffee has been the main beneficiary, jumping into Point's usual spot on the top powerplay unit.
Point played just 3:47 before leaving Sunday's loss in Winnipeg with a lower-body injury. A timeline for his return to action is unclear but recently recalled Gage Concalves will draw into Tampa Bay's lineup in the interim. Before his injury, Point was enjoying another productive campaign, scoring 13 points (8G / 5A) through 12 games.
Point played just 3:47 before leaving Sunday's loss in Winnipeg with a lower-body injury. Lucky for fantasy owners, Point scored before leaving, giving him goals in four of his last five games. The team did not have an update on his status post-game but his absence would be a critical loss for the Lightning. Consider him questionable to play Tuesday in St. Louis until the team provides an update.
Point missed the Lightning's previous game due to a lower-body injury but was a full participant in practice (including powerplays) and will return on Wednesday vs. Boston. The 28-year-old was on a tear prior to his injury picking up seven points (5G/2A) in his last three games to add to his impressive 80 points (41G/39A) in 70 games played on the season.
Point took a hard hit from Morgan Reilly in Game 3 which caused him to miss a period of the second period and will now be a game-time decision for Game 4 but is expected to play as a whole. The 27-year-old has two goals, three points, 13 SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through three games in the Lightning's opening series.

Point was officially listed as a game-time decision for Game 3 but he is not on the ice for warmups and will miss Game 3 vs. the Avalanche. Corey Perry will likely take his place on the Lightning's top power-play unit.
Point suffered an injury in Game 7 vs. the Maple Leafs and is expected to miss Game 1 on Tuesday. However, the Lightning said he should be day-to-day after that, so it looks like he avoided serious injury. The Lightning are expected to do some serious line shuffling with Point out and could go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
Point was scratched Thursday vs. the Maple Leafs but was back on the ice this morning and will play Saturday vs. the Predators. Point has been pretty quiet recently, going goalless with just one assist in his last eight games.
Point has not played since November 20th but will be back in the Lightning lineup vs. Montreal. His return should provide a huge boost to a Tampa team that is missing quite a few bodies due to COVID-19 protocol. Point is expected to centre a line with Alex Killorn and Mathieu Joseph.
Point was a full participant in Monday's practice and Lightning assistant coach Derek Lalonde said that he is in the "day-to-day category" but "might return tomorrow vs. Montreal." This would be a huge boost for the Lightning, who are missing six players due to COVID-19 protocol right now.
The Lightning called him week-to-week earlier in the day but he must have undergone further evaluation since. Point was hurt when he was tripped on a breakaway and crashed into the end boards on Saturday. Don't expect to see him back in the lineup until after Christmas.
The Lightning did not provide much of an update on Point, other than to say that he is "probably in that week-to-week stage right now." All things considered, this is probably the best-case scenario but will still put the Lightning in a tough spot for at least a couple of weeks.
