The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed star center Brayden Point on the Injured Reserve list following an undisclosed injury sustained against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Head coach Jon Cooper acknowledged that Point might miss some time, leaving no set timetable for his return. Point departs the lineup after recording 16 points in 17 games this season.
In response to Point's absence, Tampa Bay recalled 20-year-old rookie forward Sam O'Reilly from AHL Syracuse. O'Reilly practiced in Point's spot on the top power-play unit alongside Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres.
