TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Lightning star center Brayden Point will return to the lineup for Tuesday night’s game against the Montréal Canadiens after missing 14 games with an upper-body injury. Lightning assistant coach Derek Lalonde made the announcement after the team’s morning skate. After practice on Monday, Point said the injury turned out to be more than just a sore shoulder. Point led the NHL in goals (14) for the second consecutive year in last season’s playoffs, helping Tampa Bay win back-to-back Stanley Cups. He is 7-8-1 with a 3.69 goals-against-average in 18 career NHL games.
