Point had scored a power-play goal 4:29 into the second period but did not return to the ice. With the Lightning up 3–0, Point got tangled with Flyers defenseman Cam York, who fell awkwardly onto his right knee, causing it to bend unnaturally. Point went down to the ice, grabbed his knee and immediately took off his gloves as Lightning head athletic trainer Tom Mulligan rushed over.
