Lightning's Brayden Point: Expected to return Wednesday

Point (lower body) is slated to play Wednesday versus Boston, according to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

Point wasn't in the lineup for Tampa Bay's 3-2 overtime win over Anaheim on Sunday due to the injury. He has 41 goals and 80 points in 70 appearances in 2023-24. Point is likely to serve on the top line and first power-play unit in his return while Austin Watson might be a healthy scratch.
