Lightning's Point appears to hurt leg in Game 7

Tampa Bay Lightning star forward Brayden Point appeared to injure his right leg in the opening period of Saturday's Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs after falling into the boards awkwardly. 

The incident happened late in the first period during a race to the puck against Leafs veteran defenceman Mark Giordano.

Point hobbled to the dressing room in pain without being able to put any pressure on his right leg. 

Point scored the overtime winner in Game 6 to force a Game 7 in Toronto. 

The 26-year-old native of Calgary has two goals and two assists in the series against the Maple Leafs after recording 28 goals and 30 assists over 66 games in 2021-22, his sixth season with the Lightning.
