It is the deepest part of the off-season for the Tampa Bay Lightning, so now is as good of a time as any to take a trip down memory lane and take a look and some historical lists with the Bolts.

Today we are going to look at the top five goal scorers in franchise history, noting that these are regular-season goals scored while wearing a Lightning jersey and do not count goals scored in the playoffs.

Tampa Bay Lightning All-Time Goal Scorer No. 5: Brayden Point

  • 2016 – Present
  • 218 goals
  • 51 goals in 2022-23

Currently, on a pace of 31 goals a season and climbing, Brayden Point officially solidified himself as a star in the NHL last season at the age of 26 with 51 goals to go along with 44 assists.

Noted for his speed, Point also has benefited from an extremely accurate shot, averaging 18% shooting percentage for his career.

If he maintains a pace of 31 goals a season, he has a shot to reach 500 career goals by the time he is 35.

His first goal was almost by accident. After coming close several times to finding the net, Point had a shot ricochet off of him for his first career goal.

Of course, his most iconic goal as a Bolt doesn’t register on this list, when he wristed home a shot during the 5th overtime of the opening game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against Columbus.
