BRAYDEN POINT NEWS

Back-to-back two-point games Point scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in an 8-4 win over New Jersey.

Impact Point's goal early in the third period gave the Lightning a 7-3 lead. The star center has had a difficult season, but he has put up back-to-back two-point games this week (two goals, two assists). Point started the season with a three-point effort against the Sens on opening night, and he hadn't put up more than a single point until Tuesday night. This could be a good sign, and you might still be able to leverage his future out of a frustrated manager. Point is far better than the 15 points he has put up in 24 games.

Two-point night in win Point scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.

Impact Point's goal opened the game early in first period, putting to an end the Lightning's goal drought at 130:43. The team had been shut out its last two games. He drove around the Habs' defender inside the blue line and went in alone on Jakub Dobes, knifing it over the netminder's right shoulder from the right circle. The goal was Point's fourth of the season and first in 10 games (two assists). It came in his second game back from missing seven with an undisclosed injury. His production (four goals and nine assists in 23 games) has been fantasy hockey's biggest disappointment this season. Point's pedigree -- he has averaged 46 goals and 89 points over each of the last three seasons -- means a rebound is coming.

Peppers net in return to lineup Point (undisclosed) fired four shots on net and added one hit and a minus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact After missing the prior seven games, Point returned to the lineup Monday and slotted right back onto the top power-play unit while tying for the team lead in shots on net. It's been a rough season so far for the 29-year-old center, who has just three goals and 11 points in 22 games, but the time off may have allowed him to get re-focused in addition to getting healthy.

Tallies in Tuesday's loss Point scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Prior to his third-period tally, Point had been limited to three helpers over his last eight games. The 29-year-old brought the Lightning within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. Point is up to three goals, six helpers, 28 shot on net and a minus-10 rating over 13 appearances in an unusually quiet start to the season. He's been above a point-per-game pace in each of the three previous campaigns, so fantasy managers should be patient with the star center.
