Wows in return from injury Point (lower body) scored twice Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Impact Point had missed four games, but you'd never know it from his play. His first was a backhand shelf over Tristan Jarry's shoulder early in the third to get the Bolts on the board and cut the lead to 2-1. Then Point came from behind the net and stuffed his tenth of the season into an empty net with Jarry completely out of position to win the game. Point has nine points in his last six games; this run includes six goals and 14 shots. His 38.5 shooting percentage is more than double his career average (18.6), so expect a correction soon enough.

Working toward return Point (lower body) could still be an option against the Penguins on Tuesday after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters the center was "trending in the right direction," per Eduardo...
Impact Point certainly seems to be getting close to play after working with the No. 1 power-play unit at Monday's practice. Fantasy players should probably expect the Calgary native to be deemed a game-time decision ahead of puck drop, but look for him to fill a first-line role whenever he is given the green light to return to the lineup.

Six goals in nine games Point had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 OT loss to the Predators on Monday.
Impact Point has nine points, including six goals, in nine games, and he's put up points in seven of those contests. That's exactly the kind of consistency you need in fantasy, especially head-to-head and weekly formats. His 37.5 shooting percentage is going to regress, but that's OK. Point has scored 97 goals in his last two seasons and recorded at least 90 points in each of those seasons. And that's what we expect for 2024-25.

Taps keg again Point scored a goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Capitals.
Impact It was a pretty give-and-go with Nikita Kucherov, and Point scored from the edge of the crease to extend the Bolts' lead to 2-0. He has four points, including three goals, in his last five games and seven points, including four goals, in eight games this season. Sure, that puts him behind his pace from the last two seasons, but we're confident in the 28-year-old. He's elite.
