Brayden Point scored two goals and the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the visiting Anaheim Ducks 6-2 on Saturday night in Tampa, Fla.

Nikita Kucherov and Anthony Cirelli each had a goal and assist, Victor Hedman had two assists, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 36 saves for the Lightning, who played without leading scorer Steven Stamkos (lower-body injury).

Hedman and Alex Killorn both extended their point streaks to seven games, matching the longest of their NHL careers.

Derek Grant scored short-handed, Rickard Rakell also tallied, and Ryan Miller made 21 saves in his sixth start of the season for Anaheim, which dropped to 1-5-3 in the past nine games.

Point's third goal in two games moved Tampa Bay back in front for a third and final time, 3-2, at 12:39 of the second period.

Patrick Maroon made it 4-2 when he put in a rebound at 14:25 of the second.

Cirelli and Ondrej Palat tacked on third-period power-play goals, the second and third of the game for Tampa Bay, to make it 6-2.

After the Lightning took a 1-0 lead on the first goal by Point at 16:08 of the first period, Grant tied the score 1-1 with two minutes left in the opening period.

It was the fifth short-handed goal of the season for Anaheim, tying the Vegas Golden Knights for the league lead, and the second for Grant on the four-game road trip.

Kucherov, who returned to the lineup after missing the 4-2 win at the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday with an upper-body injury, moved the Lightning back in front 2-1 at 5:28 of the second period.

Rakell tied the score 2-2 at 7:57 of the second when he scored off a feed from Ryan Getzlaf just as a Tampa Bay penalty expired. The goal extended Rakell's point streak to five games (three goals, three assists).

Stamkos, who sustained the injury against the Blackhawks, leads the Lightning with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists).

Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm returned after missing the past six games with a lower-body injury.
