TORONTO — Rookie F Brayden Point is digging his first road trip.
The first-class seats on a chartered plane. Nice hotels.
“It’s pretty amazing,” he said.
Point, 20, hopes he’s sticking around for a second one with the Lightning. And he might.
With RW Ryan Callahan (hip surgery) nearing a return, perhaps this weekend, some wonder what that means for Point, a first-year pro who made the team out of camp. Point is the only forward, other than RW Jonathan Drouin, who can be sent to AHL Syracuse without having to clear waivers. So it would make sense to give Point top-line minutes for the Crunch rather than battle for playing time among 13 healthy forwards.
