NHL; Lightning Sign Brayden Point

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed restricted free agent forward Brayden Point to a $20.25 million, three-year contract.  Point will count $6.75 million against the salary cap through the 2022-23 season.  Point’s contract ends a long stalemate with the Lightning that caused the budding 23-year-old star to miss most of training camp. Point put up 92 points last season as the Lightning won the Presidents’ Trophy only to be swept in the first round of the playoffs.
