The Lightning will get a boost in their first game back from the Olympic break, as top center Brayden Point returns to the lineup.
Point has missed the last 11 games after suffering a lower-body injury on Jan. 12 against the Philadelphia Flyers — an injury that also kept him off Canada’s Olympic roster.
Before the injury, Point had 11 goals and 19 assists in 36 games, and Tampa Bay will be counting on his return as the condensed schedule gets underway.
Anthony Cirelli, a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, is hopeful to return Saturday when the Lightning host the Sabres at Benchmark International Arena.
