The Tampa Bay Lightning look to defend their two-point lead over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday without star forward Brayden Point in the lineup. Tampa Bay announced that Point will be scratched from the game because he missed a team meeting. "Update: Brayden Point will not play tonight due to missing a team meeting," the team said on X.
The Lighting were prepared to dress all 18 healthy skaters, but a team rule states that any player who misses a meeting will be benched for the next game. When Point arrived late to TD Garden Tuesday morning, Tampa Bay summoned Finley from Syracuse to fill the empty forward spot.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have established one of hockey’s winningest cultures in the last decade, resulting in back-to-back Stanley Cup victories and a third consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
