The center may have been injured in the first period and played two shifts in the second period but was not on the ice for the third period.
Tampa Bay won 2-1 on a goal by Nikita Kucherov with nine seconds left to extend its lead in the best-of-7 series.
There was no update after the game on Point, who scored five points (two goals, three assists) in an 8-2 Game 1 win on Monday.
When asked Friday if Point would play, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said, "you'll have to tune in to find out what the lineup is tonight."
On Thursday, he said Point missing Game 3 was, "a possibility."
Point lost his helmet after he fell awkwardly into the left-wing boards in the offensive zone with seven seconds remaining in the first period. He was late returning to the Tampa Bay bench at the start of the second period and played two shifts in the opening 5:23 before going back to the locker room.
Point is the leading scorer remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He has 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists) in 15 games, second this postseason behind Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon, who scored 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 15 games before Colorado was eliminated by the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Second Round.
Point's departure left the Lightning with nine forwards for the remainder of Game 2. Tampa Bay, which dressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen, also lost forward Alex Killorn 5:55 into the game after he received a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct for a hit on New York forward Brock Nelson. Killorn
was suspended one game
on Thursday and will not play in Game 3.
Anthony Cirelli moved up to center Tampa Bay's top line with Ondrej Palat and Kucherov after Point left the game, and would likely fill that role again in Game 3 if Point can't play.
Rookie centers Mitchell Stephens, who has one goal in six postseason games, and Carter Verhaeghe, who has one assist in three postseason games, are the leading candidates to enter the lineup.
