Lightning's Point Returns vs Maple Leafs

Brayden Point will return to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced.

Point missed 11 games with a lower-body injury suffered on January 12 against Philadelphia. The injury also prevented him from representing Canada at the Winter Olympics, where he was replaced by Seth Jarvis.

The 29-year-old forward has 11 goals and 19 assists in 36 games this season as the Lightning lead the Eastern Conference with a 37-14-4 record.
