It happened Saturday night when Point got his legs taken out on a partial breakaway. Point crashed hard into the boards and came up favouring his left side that hit the boards. 



Point was given a penalty shot which he rang off the crossbar, and was able to finish out the game. 



The 25-year-old has appeared in 16 games for the Lightning this year scoring seven goals and 13 points. 



No timeline has been made available for his return.
