Sam O’Reilly Set to Make NHL Debut With Lightning
On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning placed center Brayden Point on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
Point, who has five goals and 16 points in 17 games this season, left Sunday’s game in Winnipeg after logging just 5:35 of ice time over six shifts.
The Lightning then recalled forward prospect Sam O’Reilly from the Syracuse Crunch.
“He's used in a lot of good situations down in the minors that are important,” Lightning assistant Dan Hinote said. “He's taking on a big responsibility right away, which is what you want for his development. When he comes up here, this will be a great test to see where he's at.”
