Lightning’s Brayden Point unlikely to play tonight in Stanley Cup final Game 6

TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning will try to prolong their season once again without Brayden Point.

Coach Jon Cooper said this morning that he anticipates the same lineup from Game 5, which indicates Point will miss his fourth consecutive game.

“It’s tricky, too, because players are used to playing at a certain way, or how they feel they can play. If they don’t feel confident in playing at the caliber they’re used to, it almost works against them,” Cooper said. “So, it’s unfortunate because it’s a severe injury and at this time of the year, everybody’s trying to get back into the lineup and just there are some things you can’t do.”
