    Cirelli tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 27-year-old center has three goals and one assist over his last five contests as he continues to make a larger impact than ever on offense this season. He's up to 18 goals, 19 helpers, five power-play points, 89 shots and a plus-18 rating through 42 appearances.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: One of each Sunday

    Cirelli scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

    Cirelli set up Brandon Hagel's game-tying goal in the second period before adding one of two empty-netters for the Lightning in the third. The 27-year-old Cirelli has three goals and an assist over seven contests in January. It's a bit of a slowdown for the center, but as a player with strong two-way skills, he'll sometimes sacrifice offense for defense. He's up to 17 goals, 36 points, 82 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 40 appearances. Cirelli remains on track to easily surpass his career high of 45 points from last season.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Scoring slows, but still productive

    Cirelli scored a shorthanded goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Bruins.

    Cirelli has been unable to sustain his early season scoring levels. After putting up 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in his first 26 games, Cirelli has four goals and three assists in his last 12 games. He's still on pace for a career high in points, and he's showing his defensive chops, too. A Selke nomination may finally come Cirelli's way.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Career season continues

    Cirelli (undisclosed) scored a goal Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Blues.

    Cirelli opened the scoring early in the first period with a backhand from in tight as he cut to the net. He had missed practice Wednesday but looked none the worse for wear against the Blues. Cirelli's breakout campaign continues, as he has 28 points, including 13 goals, in 29 games, and his 51.3 face-off winning percentage is almost two percent improved from his career average. He's long been considered Selke Trophy material, and this could be the year he gets consideration.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Expected to play

    Cirelli (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus the Blues, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Cirelli took line rushes in his usual spot on the second line, while Cam Atkinson did not participate in that part of warmups. As such, it looks like Cirelli will avoid missing time after missing practice Wednesday. He has 27 points over 28 games this season.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Questionable Thursday

    Cirelli (undisclosed) missed Wednesday's practice and is questionable for Thursday's tilt against St. Louis.

    Cirelli has 12 goals and 27 points in 28 outings this campaign. If Cirelli isn't available Thursday, then Cam Atkinson will probably draw into the lineup for the first time since Dec. 10.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Set to return

    Cirelli (upper body) is expected to play Thursday versus the Flames, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    Cirelli missed Tuesday's game against Edmonton with an upper-body injury, but it appears this injury was a short-term issue. The 27-year-old has 24 points over 25 contests and will return to his usual second-line role.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Returns with three-point effort

    Cirelli scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.

    While the Lightning's top line and first power-play unit did most of the damage, Cirelli was able to chip in with a big game from the second line as well. The 27-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an upper-body injury and logged 15:32 of ice time. That's less than usual for the center, but it was likely a product of the lopsided score, though his two assists came in the third period. Cirelli is now at 12 goals, 15 helpers, 55 shots on net and a plus-15 rating through 26 appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Not expected to play Tuesday

    Cirelli (undisclosed) is doubtful to play Tuesday against the Oilers, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

The 27-year-old has been highly productive this season with 11 goals and 24 points across 25 games. Cam Atkinson will more than likely replace Cirelli in the lineup Tuesday.

    Cirelli appeared to suffer an injury after taking a hard hit in the first period of Sunday's 4-2 win over the Canucks, and he didn't play in the final two periods, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    The extent of Cirelli's injury isn't yet clear, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on the 27-year-old's status after the game. Cirelli is slated to be evaluated further Monday, and his availability for Tuesday's road game against Edmonton remains to be determined.

The center is up to 11 goals, 24 points, 51 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 24 outings. He's looked good with added responsibilities this year, and he's on track to easily achieve career-high marks in most scoring categories.

    Cirelli scored a shorthanded goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    Cirelli has been on a roll of late, notching eight goals in his last eight contests, although only one of those goals has come with the man advantage. The 27-year-old playmaker remains one of the Lightning's best forwards offensively, notching 10 goals and 23 points in 22 contests in 2024-25.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Goal streak reaches six games

    Cirelli scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.

    The Avalanche fired on all cylinders Monday, and Cirelli was able to extend his goal streak to six games. In that span, he has seven tallies and two assists. The second-line center is cruising in 2024-25, earning nine goals, 13 helpers, 38 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 20 appearances. He's never come close to a point-per-game pace for a full season, but Cirelli should be rostered in most fantasy formats as long as he's scoring.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Goal streak now at five games

    Cirelli scored twice and had eight shots Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Stars.

    Both goals were off rebounds from in tight. Cirelli is on a five-game goal streak (six goals, two assists), and he has eight goals and 13 assists in 19 games this season. He has been underestimated since his junior days and proving to all that he's more than a shutdown pivot. Cirelli is almost halfway to his career-high 45 points, which he set last season in 79 games. He has also stepped up his game at the circle this season, and he's on his way to his first 600 faceoff win season.

And his 154 face-off wins (54.2 percent) lead the team by a wide margin. Cirelli has even been discussed for Team Canada for the 4 Nations Cup coming up in February. Keep deploying him until his pace slows.
