Lightning's Point Returns vs Maple Leafs

Brayden Point will make his return to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury.

Point, who suffered the injury on January 12 against Philadelphia, was forced to withdraw from representing Canada at the Winter Olympics and was replaced by Carolina's Seth Jarvis. The 29-year-old forward has recorded 11 goals and 19 assists in 36 games this season.

The Lightning enter the matchup atop the Eastern Conference with a 37-14-4 record.
