Tampa Bay Lightning's Brayden Point to miss fourth straight Stanley Cup Final game

TAMPA -- Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he expects the same lineup as Game 5, meaning center Brayden Point will miss his fourth straight game of the Stanley Cup Final.

Point skated with the team again ahead of Sunday night's Game 6 in Tampa, with the Colorado Avalanche leading the series 3-2.

"It's extremely difficult for everyone involved because everyone cares so much. But there's no animosity or anything like that. They're just difficult conversations because everybody wants the same thing," said Cooper.

Point missed the Lightning's second- and third-round series victories with a lower body injury he suffered in Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 14.
