Brayden Point notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Point snapped a five-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old center is still putting together a strong campaign with 12 goals, 19 assists, 80 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 29 appearances. He had 95 points in 82 games a year ago, and his role as the Lightning’s top-line center should give him a good chance of at least exceeding the point-per-game mark.

Brock Boeser notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Boeser was in on the forecheck and set up J.T. Miller’s second-period tally. The helper extended Boeser’s point streak to seven games, which includes five goals and five assists. The 26-year-old winger is up to 32 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 28 contests overall. He’s never exceeded 56 points in a season, but he’d have to fall off the pace dramatically to miss that mark in 2023-24.
