Brayden Point could return Tampa Bay's lineup for Game 6
The Tampa Bay Lightning could be getting a massive boost for Game 6 on Saturday night. Head coach Jon Cooper said that the 26-year-old may be available to return tonight.
"If you see him in (pregame) warmups, then it's probably a game-time decision. If you don't see him in warmups, that pretty much tells you what's going on with him. We'll see how he's feeling after the (morning) skate," Cooper told reporters.
Point hasn't played since Game 7 of their first round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs after suffering a lower-body injury. The Calgary native has been skating with the team for the past week now so his return is near. In seven games in the playoffs, Point has four points (two goals, two assists).
With a win tonight, the Tampa Bay Lightning will advance to their third consecutive Stanley Cup Final. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET on CBC, Sportsnet and ESPN.
