TAMPA, Fla. — Brayden Point entered the Lightning’s final regular-season game one goal shy of 50, and his teammates wanted to get him the milestone Thursday night against the Red Wings at Amalie Arena.
As for Point, he was more concerned about the team entering the postseason on a positive note.
“If it happens, it happens,” he said before the game. “If it doesn’t, it wasn’t meant to be. So, just worried about playing a solid game, and it could get a bit of a stretch here where we haven’t been playing great. That’s just the focus, really.”
