Brayden Point’s two-goal game power Lightning over Penguins in overtime

In a game where a couple of superstars were on the brink of some major milestones, it was a player returning from an injury that played the hero. Sidney Crosby didn’t score his 600th goal, and for only the second time this season, Nikita Kucherov was held pointless, but Brayden Point came back from a four-game absence to score twice, including the game-winning goal in overtime. The Lightning overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period on goals from Point and Anthony Cirelli to tie things up before Point scored in overtime for the 3-2 victory.

Andrei Vasilevskiy, 17 saves, wasn’t tested often, but he made the stops when he needed to as he picked up the victory.
