Point scores a quick 3 for Lightning
Brayden Point scored three straight power-play goals in 1:31 — the sixth-fastest three goals in NHL history — and the Lightning beat the Penguins 4-3 on Thursday night.
Billy Mosienko holds the record, scoring three times in 21 seconds for the Blackhawks against the Rangers in 1952. Point’s 91-second burst was the second-fastest three goals since 1967-68.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby sat out after sustaining an upper-body injury Tuesday night at New Jersey. Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed the injury is not a concussion, and Crosby is considered day to day but will likely miss a week.
