NHL.com fantasy rank: 61<\/p>\n
Point, who was limited to 63 games last season due to multiple injuries, had his lowest point total (50) since 2020-21 (48 points in 56 games) and his 18 goals were tied for the fewest he’s had in a season since his rookie season in 2016-17. The eight-time 20-goal scorer and four-time 40-goal scorer (three times in past four seasons) had a career-high 51 goals and 95 points in 2022-23 and ranks seventh in goals (157 in 303 games) over that span. Point ranks sixth in the NHL in power-play goals (67) over the past five seasons and has had at least 30 power-play points in three of those seasons. The 30-year-old is a prime candidate to have a bounce-back season and has the upside to finish inside the top 50 overall this season.<\/p>\n
