Brayden Point Returns to Lightning vs. Maple Leafs

Brayden Point will return to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, ending an 11‑game absence due to a lower‑body injury.

Lightning forward Brayden Point is set to return to the ice for the first game after the Olympic break, facing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.

Point missed 11 games after a lower‑body injury on Jan. 12 and was also unable to represent Canada at the Winter Olympics. The Lightning, sitting atop the Eastern Conference with a 37‑14‑4 record, look to add his 11 goals and 19 assists to the lineup.
