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 [https://www.nhl.com/lightning/player/brayden-point-8478010] 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.
