TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Brayden Point scored his second goal of the game with a minute left and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Saturday night after losing captain Steven Stamkos to a leg injury. Point broke a tie with a one-timer from between the circles that beat Petr Mrazek. He has a career-high 43 goals. Brandon Hagel, acquired from Chicago in a trade on March 18, 2022, hit the empty net with two seconds remaining. The Lightning lost Stamkos late in the first period with a left leg injury after he got tangled up with Chicago forward Joey Anderson and both players fell to the ice. Taylor Raddysh, acquired by Chicago in the trade for Hagel, tied it at 5:23 of the third.
