Point out vs. Blues with undisclosed injury
Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point will miss Tuesday's contest against the St. Louis Blues due to an undisclosed injury, head coach Jon Cooper told team reporter Gabby Shirley.
Point left Sunday's clash with the Winnipeg Jets after logging only 3:47 of ice time. There's no timeline on his absence at this point.
With Point unavailable, Anthony Cirelli will likely anchor the first line with Nikita Kucherov and Brandon Hagel. The club also recalled forward Gage Goncalves from AHL Syracuse.
