Brayden Point Leads Lightning Past Penguins

Brayden Point made a triumphant return to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup, scoring the overtime winner in a 3-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After missing four games due to a lower-body injury, Point's presence was crucial as he also initiated the comeback with a goal in the third period, marking his 10th goal of the season. Anthony Cirelli added another goal for Tampa Bay, while the Penguins' scoring came from Jesse Puljujarvi and Rickard Rakell, who ended a nine-game scoring drought. Sidney Crosby contributed an assist, allowing him to surpass Joe Sakic for 13th on the NHL's all-time assists list. This win marks Tampa Bay's third consecutive victory, whereas Pittsburgh has now lost four of their last five games, allowing a lead to slip away for the second consecutive match. The Lightning are set to face Columbus next, while the Penguins continue their homestand against Winnipeg.
