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.
