As the Tampa Bay Lightning wait for their Eastern Conference Finals opponent to be decided, the club continues to deal with the uncertainty surrounding the status of injured forward Brayden Point.
According to Lightning beat writer Joe Smith, Point remained absent from Thursday’s practice due to a lower-body injury.
Don’t see Brayden Point at @TBLightning practice. They’re back on ice after two day break.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury in Tampa Bay’s Game 7 opening-round victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs and has not played since.
