Game 4 of the best-of-seven series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs is taking place tonight. The Maple Leafs currently hold a 2-1 lead in the series after securing an overtime victory on Saturday night.
However, during the game, an incident occurred that caused concern among both teams and fans. Morgan Reilly delivered a dangerous hit to Braydon Point, who was caught off guard and went crashing hard into the boards. Point eventually collapsed on his way back to the bench, leading to an injury timeout.

Point later returned to the game, but it doesn't sound like he is 100% as he is a game-time decision for game 4 tonight:
Jon Cooper called Brayden Point a game time decision after his collision with the end boards in Game 3, but added he thinks Point should be able to play #GoBolts #TBLightning— Lightning Insider (@Erik_Erlendsson) April 24, 2023
Erik Cernak will also not be in the lineup for game 4 tonight:
I asked Jon Cooper about Erik Cernak's status, said he's out tomorrow for Game 4, they'll take it day to day after that #GoBolts #TBLightning— Lightning Insider (@Erik_Erlendsson) April 23, 2023
