Point replaces Hedman on Atlantic All-Star roster
by from on (#3E5W0)
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point will replace teammate Victor Hedman on the Atlantic Division All-Star squad, the team announced Wednesday.
Hedman was recently sidelined three-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury, opening the door for Point, who was chosen to participate in front of his home fans despite the Atlantic roster now featuring just two blue-liners - Erik Karlsson and Mike Green.
Point has put together a terrific season thus far, producing 43 points in 48 games for the first-place Lightning.
