Tampa Bay Lightning 3rd round pick in the 2014 draft (#79 overall) rookie center Brayden Point(21) was on the opening night roster to start his first season.
In 10 NHL games he has 4 assists with no goals and a 0 rating with 22 shots on net and is trusted for his play in all kinds of on ice situations.
The former Moose Jaw Warriors‘ forward always put up big stats in the WHL and was almost a two-point per game player for his final year as team captain.
The small-ish 5’10” 166 lbs. player has also won his fair share of gold, silver and bronze hardware as a junior hockey skater.
He was a late cut before being sent back to play his fourth year of juniors before signing but did play 9 AHL games with affiliate Syracuse Crunch in 2014/2015 at the end of his third season in home territory Alberta, then two more in the playoffs getting two goals and two assists.
The 20-year old is signed to a three year entry level deal and is already showing signs of an early payoff.
