Game 2 was an absolute blowout by the Colorado Avalanche 7-0 and the Lightning will be looking to rebound tonight and show why they were the back-to-back stanley cup champions.
Only problem is, they may need to do this without one of their star players.
Jon Cooper says Brayden Point is a game-time decision. He did not take morning skate. Neither did Andrei Vasilevskiy, but he will play.� Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 20, 2022
Brayden Point returned for the Finals after missing series' 2 and 3 after a knee injury he sustained in game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In his 2 games since returning, Point played 17:59 & 16:40, registering 1 assist and is a -1 in the 2 games. With Point in the lineup this playoff season, the Lightning are 4-5 and without Point they are 8-2.
Should the Lightning go back to their lineup they won rounds 2 and 3 with and let Point sit out game 3 to rest?
