Point Out of Olympics with Injury
Brayden Point's lower-body injury from that brutal net-front tangle with Cam York back in January shelves the Lightning sniper for Team Canada's Olympic run. Tampa's now missing two key pieces in Milano Cortina after Anthony Cirelli went down too, forcing Hockey Canada to pivot to Seth Jarvis as the replacement. Point's been grinding through a slower start this season with 30 points in 37 games, but his absence leaves a massive hole in Canada's depth chart just as the tournament heats up.
