Lightning's Brayden Point: Six goals in nine games
Rotowire
Point had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators on Monday.
Point has nine points, including six goals, in nine games, and he's put up points in seven of those contests. That's exactly the kind of consistency you need in fantasy, especially in head-to-head and weekly formats. His 37.5 shooting percentage is going to regress, but that's OK. Point has scored 97 goals in his last two seasons and recorded at least 90 points in each of those campaigns, and that's what we expect for 2024-25.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Three-game point drought
Rotowire
Point has no points in three games since the All-Star break.
Point has six shots, but nothing to show for it. After a five-game point drought in early December, Point roared off on a six-game scoring streak that included four goals and four assists, so it's just a matter of time until he snaps out of this slump, too. On the season, Point has 54 points, including 25 goals, 143 shots and 165 face-off wins. His 43.8 winning percentage at the dot is a strange blight on his stat sheet after posting seasons of 51.0 and 50.7 over the last two years. There's no obvious reason, other than perhaps overuse -- Point is averaging 20:24 TOI this season, which is 1:20 more than his career mark.
