Guentzel (upper-body) will return to the Penguins lineup on Sunday.
Point (upper-body) will return to the Lightning lineup on Tuesday.
Point has not played since November 20th but will be back in the Lightning lineup vs. Montreal. His return should provide a huge boost to a Tampa team that is missing quite a few bodies due to COVID-19 protocol. Point is expected to centre a line with Alex Killorn and Mathieu Joseph.
Point (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Point was a full participant in Monday's practice and Lightning assistant coach Derek Lalonde said that he is in the "day-to-day category" but "might return tomorrow vs. Montreal." This would be a huge boost for the Lightning, who are missing six players due to COVID-19 protocol right now.
The Lightning placed Anthony Cirelli in COVID-19 protocol on Monday.
After placing four players in protocol on Sunday, Cirelli and Andrej Sustr were added on Monday morning. Luckily for the Lightning, Brayden Point was back on the ice for practice and may return to the lineup to replace Cirelli on Tuesday.
The Lightning placed Andrei Vasilevskiy in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday.
The Lightning are set to play four games in six days this week but lost both goalies, Mikhail Sergachev and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare to COVID-19 on Sunday and both Anthony Cirelli and Andrej Sustr on Monday. With both Vasilevskiy and Brian Elliott out, Maxime Lagace is expected to be promoted and start on Tuesday.
