Lightning's Brayden Point: Eight points in last six games
Brayden Point scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over Carolina.He put the Bolts up 3-2 early in the second period when he redirected a pass into an open net behind Pyotr Kochetkov. Point has eight points (three goals, five assists) over his past six games. His 9.5 shooting percentage remains abysmal relative to his 18.4 career average, so expect a goal run soon enough. Point has really started to warm up -- he had 11 points in his first 22 games prior to this run. The window to get him in trade is closing.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Back-to-back two-point games
Brayden Point scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in an 8-4 win over New Jersey.Point's goal early in the third period gave the Tampa Bay 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.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Two-point night in win
Brayden Point scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday.Point's goal opened the game early in the first period, putting an end to the Tampa Bay Lightning's goal drought at 130:43. The team had been shut out in 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 due to 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 regular seasons -- means a rebound is coming.
