Player of the Week: Brayden Point

Brayden Point scored twice and added three assists in a trio of Lightning victories last week.

Point was held off the scoresheet on Tuesday against Minnesota but generated five shots on goal and finished with a +2 rating.
In a big divisional matchup against the Bruins two nights later, Point factored on all three goals in a 3-2 Bolts victory. Point picked up a secondary assist on Brandon Hagel's first period power play goal. He then scored in the opening minute of the third when Nikita Kucherov's quick shot off a faceoff win deflected off the back of his skate. Finally, Point got the primary assist on Victor Hedman's game-winning goal with less than seven minutes to play in regulation.

Point closed the week with another goal and assist on Saturday against the Kings. He opened the scoring early in the first and added the secondary assist on Hedman's insurance goal in the third.
Point leads the Lightning with 29 goals and his 54 points rank as the third-most on the team.
