Lands on IR Point (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to miss time, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact While the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline for Point, the fact that he was placed on injured reserve doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. It is a significant blow for the 30-year-old center, who was on pace to reach the 80-point threshold for the fifth time in his career after racking up 16 points through 17 contests to start the year. Conor Geekie and Zemgus Girgensons could both be in contention for additional minutes with Point on the shelf.

Impact Point exited Sunday's matchup late in the first period, and the team ruled him out for the remainder of the game during the third period. Prior to his departure, he was held scoreless with two shots in 5:35 of ice time. The exact nature and severity of his injury remain to be seen, and it isn't yet clear whether he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Sabres.

Seven-game, 10-point streak Point picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

After a slow start this season, Point has taken off offensively with 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in his last 10 games, and he's on a seven-game, 10-point streak (four goals, six assists).

First multi-goal game of season Point scored twice in a 4-2 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Impact It was his first multi-goal game of the 2026-27 season. Point's first came on the power play when he partially fanned on a one-timer in the slot, but the puck still slid five-hole on John Gibson. After his slow start, Point has seven points (four goals, three assists) during a five-game point streak, and he's up to 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 14 games overall. The ice on his game is finally defrosting.

Modest three-game scoring streak Point scored a goal Thursday in a 6-4 win over Winnipeg.

Impact Point has quietly put up a three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes goals in back-to-back games. It's modest, but when you factor in that he's has just three goals in 12 games, this little run is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Point put up just 18 snipes in 63 games in an injury-hampered 2025-26. But his 14.0 shooting percentage last season was below his career 18.3, and he's off to a similarly sluggish start this year (12.0). It could be a simple explanation given the Bolts bad power play (26th overall), but his skating simply isn't the same these last two years.

Nets power-play tally Point scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Point's goal was a momentous one in franchise history -- it was set up by Nikita Kucherov, who took sole possession of the franchise lead in all-time points on the play. The goal also ended a seven-game goal drought for Point. The 30-year-old center is at two goals, seven assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 11 appearances this season. He continues to fill a top-six role.

Dishes pair of assists Point registered two assists (one on the power play) and three shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Point has five helpers over his last four contests. The 30-year-old center is up to eight points, 20 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 10 appearances this season. It's concerning that Point's scoring woes from last year, when he was limited to 18 goals and 50 points in 63 regular-season outings, look to be continuing into 2026-27. He remains in a top-six role, but he has been bumped to the second line at even strength as he tries to find his finishing touch.

Two apples, but goals still hard to find Point delivered two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over Vancouver.

Impact Point has one goal and five assists in eight games this season. He hasn't scored a goal since Oct. 5 in a win over Philly. Point had a tough year in 2025-26, putting up just 18 goals on 129 shots (14.0 percent) with 32 assists in 63 games, and he's started 2026-27 slowly, too. He's now 30, which isn't old, but he needs to step things up to return his elite goal-scoring form. Point averaged 46 goals, 89 points and 217 shots over the three seasons prior to last year. We're not counting him out -- he's too talented for that. But we can't help but wonder if he's still struggling to find space to shoot the puck, particularly in tight places, like he admitted to media after last season. We're watching, and you should, too.

Impact Point has contributed a goal, an assist, seven shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over three games this season. The 30-year-old center continues to work on the top line as he aims to author a bounce-back campaign. He was limited to 50 points in 63 regular-season outings in 2025-26, his lowest marks in a full-length season since his rookie year in 2016-17.

Impact Point saw a decrease in production during the 2025-26 campaign, recording 18 goals, 32 assists, 23 blocked shots, 14 PIM and eight hits while averaging 18:15 of ice time across 63 regular-season appearances. He dealt with a pair of injuries last year and will attempt to bounce back this season while maintaining a top-six role for Tampa Bay.
