Brayden Point scored twice in Tampa Bay's 4-2 win over Detroit on Tuesday, November 3. He added four shots, one power-play goal and a plus-one rating in 18:23 of ice time.

The two-goal performance reflects strong finishing, but his underlying play grades 38 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is. Point remains a solid fantasy center with games on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday ahead.

Brayden Point

Point's two goals and four shots on Tuesday, November 3 came in 18:23 of ice time, slightly above his recent average of 18:13 a night. He scored one power-play goal while logging time on Tampa Bay's top unit, where he ranks third among all Lightning skaters at 3:41 per game. The center has averaged 0.41 goals, 0.52 assists and 0.93 points in his recent sample of 209 games.

His underlying play grades 38 out of 100 among forwards, a middling mark that suggests his scoring may not be sustainable at elevated levels. Point averages 2.2 shots per game and contributes 0.30 power-play points nightly. With four games remaining this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday) and three next week, he offers useful volume in category leagues despite the process concerns.

What to do

• Hold Point as a mid-tier center with strong goal scoring and four games left this week.

• His underlying play grades suggest caution in expecting his scoring to climb significantly above recent averages.

• Point's first-unit power-play role and multi-game week make him a solid lineup option despite middling process numbers.
