Status report
Point was injured after scoring on a power play at 4:29 of the second period during a 5-1 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday, when he was helped off the ice after Flyers defenseman Cam York fell on his right leg; Lightning coach Jon Cooper didn’t have an update after the game, but said Point would travel to Pittsburgh. ... Vasilevskiy likely will likely start after Johansson made 20 saves Monday. ... Karlsson was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a lower-body injury; the defenseman will be re-evaluated in two weeks. ... Rust is expected to play after missing two games with a lower-body injury. ... Broz, a forward, and Graves, a defenseman, each was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Tuesday, but neither is expected to play.
