Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Five points in last four games
Cirelli put up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
Cirelli has two goals and three assists in four games since the calendar flipped to 2026. He has six shots, two hits, one block and a plus-five rating in that span. However, Cirelli still struggles at the dot. He's 25-for-55 (45.5 percent) over his last four outings. Still, he's on pace to top 50 points this season, score more than 20 goals and his plus-minus is already stellar at plus-24 in 39 games.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Fills empty cage
Cirelli scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.
Cirelli has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 28-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-22 rating through 38 appearances this season. He's close to the pace needed to earn his second straight 50-point campaign, and he should also top the 20-goal mark if he can stay healthy and productive.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Five points in last five games
Cirelli had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Los Angeles on Thursday.
Cirelli has five points (two goals, three assists) and 14 shots in his last five games, but his work at the dot has been mid, at best. He won 8-of-13 face-offs Thursday, but he has gone 37-for-82 (45.1) in that span. Cirelli's season mark at the dot is 48.8, which is low considering his street credibility as a two-way pivot. He'll still deliver decent totals in that category, but his value as a pivot overall is relatively low due to the depth at the position.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Provides two assists
Cirelli logged two assists, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.
Cirelli set up a Jake Guentzel shorthanded tally in the first period and a Nikita Kucherov empty-netter in the third. The 28-year-old Cirelli has a goal and three helpers over his last four contests as he continues to bounce back after a quiet first half of December. The two-way center is up to 22 points (three on the power play, two shorthanded) with 60 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 33 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Nets 10th goal of season
Cirelli scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Cirelli's second-period tally answered the Blues' lone goal from Justin Faulk. The goal ended a nearly month-long slump for Cirelli, who was limited to three assists over 13 contests between tallies. The center is up to 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 20 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 32 appearances this season.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Playing Saturday
Cirelli (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Carolina on Saturday, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Cirelli sustained an injury in the third period of Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Kings, but he won't miss additional action. He has nine goals and 19 points in 30 games this season. He should return to a top-six role against the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Sustains injury Thursday
Cirelli (undisclosed) was hurt in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Kings, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on the center's status after the contest, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Cirelli was hurt on a hit by Kevin Fiala. The Lightning were already playing one short since Nikita Kucherov (illness) couldn't suit up, making the team eligible to dip into emergency recalls prior to Friday's roster freeze for the holiday break. Cirelli's status should be updated prior to Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes. He had an assist Thursday and is up to 19 points in 30 appearances.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Two-point effort Monday
Cirelli picked up a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
Tampa Bay's top line of Cirelli, Brandon Hagel and Nikita Kucherov accounted for basically all of the team's offense on the night -- Emil Lilleberg got an assist on Hagel's first of two goals, but otherwise that trio recorded every one of the Bolts' points. Cirelli has produced back-to-back two-point performances as part of that unit, and on the season, he's delivered nine goals and 16 points in 18 games.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Closes out scoring Saturday
Cirelli scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
Cirelli closed out the scoring for the Lightning with a backhander at 15:51 of the final frame. It was his eighth goal of the season, but it might be the spark he needs to turn things around. Cirelli missed four games from Nov. 8-16 due to an upper-body injury, and he still has only three points (two goals, one assist) in six games in November. That's poor production for a top-six forward, let alone one that notched a career-high 59 points across 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Slides smooth assist
Cirelli had an assist and one shot on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.
In his return to the lineup after missing four games with an upper-body injury, Cirelli made a highlight-reel play by sending a no-look pass from the boards directly to Nikita Kucherov for the team's second goal. With the helper, the 28-year-old Cirelli has five assists, 12 points and 22 shots on goal through 15 games of work this season. After a career-best 59 points through 80 regular-season games a year ago, he's off to a solid start offensively in the top-line center role. However, he'll need to pick up the pace to match his career-best output. With the Lightning heating up as a team, Cirelli is in a solid spot in fantasy to remain on rosters across standard leagues.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Unavailable Saturday
Cirelli (upper body) won't play against Florida on Saturday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Cirelli will miss his third straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready to return in Sunday's matchup versus Vancouver. He has earned seven goals, 11 points, 21 shots on net and 11 blocked shots through 14 outings this season. The Lightning will also be without forwards Dominic James (undisclosed), Brandon Hagel (undisclosed) and Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed), which will give recent call-ups Jakob Pelletier, Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin a chance to play against the Panthers.

Cirelli (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Rangers, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Won't play Saturday
Cirelli (upper body) won't play against Washington on Saturday, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Cirelli will miss at least one game after getting injured in Thursday's 6-3 win over Vegas. However, the Lightning hope to get him back for Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers. He has amassed seven goals, 11 points, 21 shots on net and 11 blocked shots through 14 outings this season. Due to Cirelli's absence, Dominic James will center the second line versus the Capitals on Saturday.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Dealing with upper-body injury
Cirelli sustained an upper-body injury versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, but assistant coach Rob Zettler told reporters that the team is hopeful the center will play Saturday against the Capitals, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Cirelli was injured during the second period and did not return to the game. If he can't suit up, the Lightning could turn to Yanni Gourde to pick up extra minutes while one of Jack Finley or Curtis Douglas enters the lineup for Saturday's contest.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Lights lamp in win
Cirelli scored a goal on his only shot to go with a plus-2 rating and two PIM during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.
Cirelli has notched points in three straight games and goals in back-to-back games after burying his seventh of the year Sunday. The 28-year-old has 11 points through 12 games this season, a near point-per-game pace. However, his seven goals have come on 35 percent marksmanship, so it would be fair to assume that might be an unsustainable rate throughout the full season.

Cirelli scored a goal in a 2-1 overtime win over Dallas on Thursday.
Cirelli nabbed a turnover by Mikko Rantanen and took off on a breakaway, beating Jake Oettinger with a backhand. Cirelli has six goals, four assists and 19 shots in 11 games this season. It was his second game-winning goal this year.
