Brayden Point Placed on Injured Reserve with Lower-Body Injury

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point (lower body) has officially been placed on injured reserve, confirming his week-to-week status. Prior to his injury, Point was in strong form, accumulating five goals and six assists, including three power-play points, in his last eight games. This extended absence means the Calgary native is at risk of missing the 80-point mark for the first time since the 2021-22 season, impacting the Lightning's offensive depth.
