  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Matches career high in goals

    Cirelli scored an empty-net goal, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Cirelli has four points over his last five outings. His empty-netter was his 20th goal of the season, matching his career-best total from 2023-24. The 27-year-old center is now at 42 points, 109 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating across 53 appearances. This is the fourth season he's reached the 40-point mark, but the Lightning have 27 games left on the schedule for him to build on what's likely to be a career year for the Ontario native.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Dealing with upper-body injury

    Cirelli (upper body) is considered day-to-day after missing Thursday's game versus the Senators, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Cirelli has battled a couple of injuries in recent weeks, and this one is forcing him to miss at least one game. He hasn't been ruled out for the Lightning's pair of road games this weekend -- at Detroit on Saturday and at Montreal on Sunday. Conor Sheary is in the lineup and Nick Paul has moved into Cirelli's usual spot on the second line for Thursday's contest.

    Cirelli has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Senators for an undisclosed reason, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Cirelli sat out Saturday's morning skate for an unspecified reason, but he wasn't initially forced to miss any time. He'll be unavailable for at least one game Thursday, although it's not yet clear whether his current ailment is related to the one he dealt with over the weekend. Nick Paul (undisclosed) will return to the lineup against Ottawa.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Good to go

    Cirelli (undisclosed) will play against the Islanders on Saturday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Cirelli won't miss any playing time after skipping Saturday's morning skate. He has accounted for 19 goals, 39 points, 104 shots on net and 46 blocked shots through 49 appearances this season. With Cirelli available to play, Michael Eyssimont will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's matchup.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Game-time decision Saturday

    Cirelli (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Cirelli has 19 goals and 39 points in 49 games and is just six points shy of his career high, set last season. Should Cirelli not be able to go, look for Michael Eyssimont to rejoin the lineup.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Gets goal but game has cooled

    Cirelli scored a goal Thursday in a 3-0 win over the Kings.

    He scored an empty-net shorthanded goal late in the third with David Rittich pulled on the power play. Cirelli's torrid start to the season has slowed -- he has seven points (five goals, two assists) in 15 games since the calendar flipped. Prior to that, Cirelli had 31 points in 34 games. He's still on pace to break his career mark of 45 points, which he set last season. And the goal -- his 19th -- puts him one from tying his best of 20, also set in 2023-24. There are lots of formats where Cirelli brings value, but if his pace has truly settled back into his regular career rate then his value drops in standard formats. There are too many offensive centers who will contribute more.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Power-play goal in shootout win

    Cirelli scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.

    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. Cirelli figures to play on the second line at even strength while seeing big minutes in all situations.

  • 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.

    Cirelli scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

He continues to see time in all situations while playing at a career-best pace.

The 27-year-old center set up Ryan McDonagh's goal in the first period before adding one of his own in the second.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Pockets two assists Monday

    Cirelli delivered two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

    Both helpers came in the first period, including one on a Mitchell Chaffee tally with the man advantage. Cirelli has slowed down a little, getting onto the scoresheet in just five of his last 11 appearances, but he still heads into the holiday break with an impressive 13 goals and 30 points through 31 contests.

  • 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: Dealing with upper-body injury

    Cirelli is battling an upper-body injury that will keep him out of Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    Cirelli is considered day-to-day beyond Tuesday. The 27-year-old's absence will allow Cam Atkinson to draw into the lineup against the Oilers.

  • 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.

    Cirelli was unable to play in the final two periods of Sunday's 4-2 win over Vancouver after being on the receiving end of a hit in the opening stanza. 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.
