Brayden Point placed on IR; Lightning recall prospect Sam O'Reilly

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point has been placed on injured reserve after suffering an undisclosed injury during a game against the Winnipeg Jets. Point, who played only 5:35 before exiting a 4-3 loss, is expected to miss at least the next week but could return in a couple of weeks. His current absence is challenging for the Lightning, as he was finding his offensive rhythm with 10 points in seven games and recently surpassed 700 career points. In his absence, the team has recalled 20-year-old Sam O'Reilly from the AHL, who may debut in the NHL as the Lightning look to adjust their lineup.
