Lightning Star Returns for Game 1 of Final vs. Avalanche
Point Skates in Full Equipment for First Time Since Injury
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point is expected to make his return to the lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. Point has been out of the Lightning lineup since suffering a lower-body injury on May 14 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final against the New York Rangers.
Point Dealt with Quad Tear in Playoffs
According to Lightning head coach Jon Cooper, Point has been dealing with a quad tear since the playoffs began. Despite the injury, Point has been a key contributor for the Lightning, scoring five goals and adding seven assists in 15 games. He is expected to play a significant role in the Lightning's offense in the Stanley Cup Final.
Conclusion
Point's return is a major boost for the Lightning, who are looking to win their third Stanley Cup in four years. He is one of the team's most dangerous offensive players, and his presence in the lineup will make the Lightning a more formidable opponent for the Avalanche.
