Brayden Point Ruled Out for Lightning's Game Against Blues
Tampa Bay's top forward sidelined with a lower-body injury as team faces lineup adjustments.
- Tampa Bay Lightning's Brayden Point sustained a lower-body injury during Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets.
- Point has been a key player this season, contributing 13 points, including eight goals and five power-play goals, in 12 games.
- Anthony Cirelli is expected to move to the top line alongside Nikita Kucherov and Brandon Hagel in Point's absence.
- The Lightning recalled Gage Goncalves from the AHL's Syracuse Crunch to fill the roster gap for the game against the St. Louis Blues.
- Point's injury has led to a reshuffling of the Lightning's top three lines, testing the team's depth as they conclude their road trip.
