Brayden Point returns to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup after missing 11 games with a lower‑body injury sustained on Jan. 12 against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 29‑year‑old, who had 11 goals and 19 assists in 36 games, will face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
Point missed the Winter Olympics after being named to Canada's roster, and was replaced by Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis. The Lightning, sitting first in the Eastern Conference with a 37‑14‑4 record, look to capitalize on his return.
