Top Brayden Point News

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Two more points Monday

    Point collected two assists in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

    The 29-year-old center appears to be back in form after a rough start to the season, and then a seven-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Point was blanked in his return Dec. 8 against the Leafs, but since then, he's gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, racking up two goals and five helpers during his longest point streak so far in 2025-26.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Back-to-back two-point games

    Point scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in an 8-4 win over New Jersey.

    Point's goal early in the third period gave the Lightning a 7-3 lead. The star center has had a difficult season, but he has put up back-to-back two-point games this week (two goals, two assists). Point started the season with a three-point effort against the Sens on opening night, and he hadn't put up more than a single point until Tuesday night. This could be a good sign, and you might still be able to leverage his future out of a frustrated manager. Point is far better than the 15 points he has put up in 24 games.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Two-point night in win

    Point scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.

    Point's goal opened the game early in the first period, putting an end to the Lightning's goal drought at 130:43. The team had been shut out in its last two games. He drove around the Habs' defender inside the blue line and went in alone on Jakub Dobes, knifing it over the netminder's right shoulder from the right circle. The goal was Point's fourth of the season and first in 10 games (two assists). It came in his second game back from missing seven due to an undisclosed injury. His production (four goals and nine assists in 23 games) has been fantasy hockey's biggest disappointment this season. Point's pedigree -- he has averaged 46 goals and 89 points over each of the last three regular seasons -- means a rebound is coming.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Peppers net in return to lineup

    Point (undisclosed) fired four shots on net and added one hit and a minus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    After missing the prior seven games, Point returned to the lineup Monday and slotted right back onto the top power-play unit while tying for the team lead in shots on net. It's been a rough season so far for the 29-year-old center, who has just three goals and 11 points in 22 games, but the time off may have allowed him to get re-focused in addition to getting healthy.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Returning to action Monday

    Point (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Maple Leafs, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

    Point missed the last seven games due to injury, but he's slated to return to action in a top-line role on the road Monday. The 29-year-old had gotten off to a somewhat slow start to the 2025-26 campaign prior to his absence, recording just three goals, eight assists, eight blocked shots, three hits and six PIM while averaging 18:52 of ice time over 21 appearances.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Questionable for Saturday

    Point (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Islanders, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Point has missed six consecutive games. He has struggled this season with only three goals and eight assists in 21 contests, a far cry from the last three years, when he combined for 267 points in 240 regular-season games.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Lands on injured reserve

    Point (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Point's move to injured reserve simply frees up a roster spot for the Lightning, should they need it. The 29-year-old is eligible to return at any time. He has already missed five games and does not have a timeline to return at this point.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: No timeline for return

    Point (undisclosed) doesn't have a timetable for his return to the lineup, according to Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley on Monday.

    Point has already missed the last four games, and a return to action doesn't appear to be imminent. He has compiled three goals, 11 points and 44 shots on net through 21 appearances this season. Nick Paul has been occupying a top-six role due to Point's absence.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Not playing Friday

    Point (undisclosed) is not partaking in warmups ahead of Friday's game against Detroit, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Point will sit out his third straight game. He has struggled this season with only three goals and 11 points in 21 games, after 95, 90 and 82 point seasons in his last three years. Point could return as early as Saturday against the Rangers in New York.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Remains unavailable Wednesday

    Point (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus the Flames on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Point will miss his second straight game. Nick Paul will have a top-six role in addition to moving onto the No. 1 power-play unit because of Point's absence.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Not playing Monday

    Point (undisclosed) won't play against Philadelphia on Monday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Head coach Jon Cooper also said Monday that Point's availability for Wednesday's matchup against Calgary is "dicey." The 29-year-old Point sustained an injury in Saturday's 5-3 win over Washington, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. He has produced three goals, 11 points and 44 shots on net across 21 appearances this season. With Point unavailable, Dominic James will occupy a top-six role against the Flyers on Monday.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Hurt versus Capitals on Saturday

    Point (undisclosed) did not finish Saturday's game versus the Capitals, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on his status after the contest, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Point tried to play through the injury, sustained late in the second period, but he was done after taking just one shift in the third. The Lightning also lost Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) to injury in the game, which could leave the team's offense short-staffed for Monday's home game versus the Flyers.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Tallies in Tuesday's loss

    Point scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

    Prior to his third-period tally, Point had been limited to three helpers over his last eight games. The 29-year-old brought the Lightning within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. Point is up to three goals, six helpers, 28 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 13 appearances in an unusually quiet start to the season. He's been above a point-per-game pace in each of the three previous campaigns, so fantasy managers should be patient with the star center.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Modest two-game point streak

    Point picked up an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

    Point has a modest two-game, two-assist scoring streak on the go. He registered five shots in Saturday's win, which is one more than he put up in his previous three outings combined. Overall, Point has two goals and five assists in eight appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Nabs assist in loss

    Point picked up an assist in a 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Thursday.

    After putting up four points (one goal, three assists) in his first two games, Point has just two points (one goal, one assist) in his last five games. Although the Bolts are off to a slow start, Point should be fine. He has averaged 46 goals over the last three years.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Deft tip fools netminder

    Point scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 3-2 OT loss to Washington.

    Point showed off his hand-eye coordination when he tipped Victor Hedman's shot past Logan Thompson from the high slot with just three seconds remaining on an early third-period power play. Point has five points (two goals, three assists) in four games this season. He's tied with Jake Guentzel for the team scoring lead.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Strong start to season

    Point had a goal and two assists in a 5-4 loss to Ottawa on Thursday.

    Point put the Bolts up 2-0 at the 7:00 mark of the first with a wrist shot from the right circle that beat Linus Ullmark to the far post, while both assists came on the power play. The 29-year-old Point has put up 139 goals and 128 assists over the last three seasons (240 games), and there's no reason to think he won't replicate that high-level production heading into 2025-26.
