Anthony Cirelli a Game-Time Decision Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. Cirelli has missed four games and couldn't play for Canada at the Olympics due to an undisclosed injury, but he could be ready to return on Saturday. The 28-year-old has contributed 15 goals and 30 assists in 49 games this season, while logging a plus-30 rating. Cirelli's return would allow Jake Guentzel to return to the wing on the second line, with Scott Sabourin making way in the lineup.

Anthony Cirelli to Miss Olympics

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (lower body) won't play at the 2026 Olympics and has been replaced on Team Canada by Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (upper body). Cirelli sustained a lower-body injury on Sunday against the Boston Bruins. With him out for the Olympics, Cirelli is also set to miss two Lightning games this week. Bennett was hurt in Monday's loss to the Buffalo Sabres but is expected to be healthy for the Olympic tournament. The Lightning will also be without Brayden Point (lower body) and Nicholas Paul (undisclosed) on Tuesday against Buffalo, which could give Yanni Gourde a spot in the top six.

Anthony Cirelli Fails to Finish Stadium Series Matchup

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) left Sunday's Stadium Series clash against the Boston Bruins after logging only 6:25 of ice time. He suffered an undisclosed injury late in the first period on an open-ice hit by Bruins forward Mark Kastelic. Lightning head coach Jon Cooper called Cirelli's injury "a stinger" after the game, so it looks like he may have avoided a major injury. Tampa Bay has two more games to go until the Olympic break. Cirelli is set to play in the Olympics for Team Canada after impressing throughout the season. He has tallied 30 points (15 goals, 20 assists) in 49 contests with a plus-30 rating.

Anthony Cirelli Injured Versus Sharks

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) took only one third-period shift in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. He appeared injured after teammate Brandon Hagel's shot hit him. "I don't know. I don't want to say anything," Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said postgame about Cirelli's status. "He's a tough kid, so I'm hoping he'll be OK ... We'll see tomorrow." Before exiting, Cirelli had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's game. He has notched 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 44 games this season, earning him a spot on Team Canada for the Olympics. A serious injury would ruin Cirelli's Olympic dream and also be a blow to the Lightning.

Anthony Cirelli Available Against Hurricanes

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) will play on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Cirelli didn't finish Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Kings due to an undisclosed injury. However, he won't miss additional time and will remain in the lineup against Carolina. Cirelli has contributed nine goals and 10 assists in 30 outings this term. He has been slumping offensively for a while, finishing nine of his last 11 games pointless. The 28-year-old last scored a goal nearly a month ago, lighting the lamp on Nov. 24 in a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Lightning were without Nikita Kucherov (illness) and Brandon Hagel (upper body) for the contest and lost Cirelli after he had collected a power-play assist.

Cirelli is third on the Lightning roster with a plus-15 rating and has amassed 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 30 appearances.

Cirelli has averaged nearly a point per game so far this season, posting seven goals and four assists in 14 outings. On Tuesday, he is expected to continue his duties as the second-line center, while Tampa Bay will also use him on the second power-play unit. Tampa's frontline could also have Dominic James (undisclosed) back on Tuesday.

Anthony Cirelli Won't Play on Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (upper body) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Washington Capitals. Cirelli sustained an upper-body injury in Thursday's victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Initially, there was hope that he would be fine for Saturday's action; however, it has now been confirmed that Cirelli will miss his first game of the season. With 14 games played, Cirelli has recorded seven goals and 11 points. Due to his absence, we will see rookie Dominic James center the second line against Washington. He has just collected his first career points, finishing Thursday's 6-3 victory at Vegas with a goal and two assists. On Saturday, James will also be part of the second power-play unit.

Anthony Cirelli Expected to Be Fine for Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (upper body) is expected to play in Saturday's matchup against the Washington Capitals, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports. Cirelli suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's win over the Vegas Golden Knights, but Lightning assistant coach Rob Zettler said postgame that the team is hopeful of having Cirelli available during the weekend. Cirelli is tied for the top spot on the Lightning roster with seven goals and has totaled 11 points in 14 outings. If Cirelli can't play on Saturday night, the Lightning will move either Yanni Gourde or Dominic James into the top six.

Anthony Cirelli Scores Twice in Monday's Win

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli finished Monday's 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins with two goals. He potted a pair of first-period goals, putting the Lightning 2-0 up. These were Cirelli's first points of the season. The Lightning have been prolific early into the season but some players have struggled, including Nikita Kucherov. Cirelli can start building momentum with another outing on Tuesday, as Tampa Bay meets the Washington Capitals. Although he's had a slow start, it wouldn't be surprising if Cirelli flirted with a 60-point campaign again. Last year, he fell just one point short of that mark, achieving career-highs with 27 goals and 32 assists in 80 games.

Anthony Cirelli Good To Go For Game 4

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) will play in Monday's Game 4 against the Florida Panthers. The 27-year-old suffered an undisclosed injury in the series opener and was not on the ice for the morning skate. However, Cirelli will avoid his first absence of the postseason. Tampa Bay mostly relies on Cirelli to shut down the opposition's best players, but he also chipped in with a goal during a 5-1 victory in Game 3. He has logged 12 hits across the series while amassing 18 penalty minutes. The Lightning will also have Brandon Hagel back from suspension on Monday night, adding attacking quality to the Cirelli line.

Anthony Cirelli Good To Go Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) will play in Game 2 against the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. Cirelli was hurt in Tuesday's series opener and was labeled a game-time call on Thursday morning. He will continue as the second-line center, working with Brandon Hagel and Jake Guentzel. Cirelli has notched 42 points (17 goals, 25 assists) in 104 career postseason games in the NHL.

Anthony Cirelli A Game-Time Call Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) is considered a game-time call for Thursday's matchup against the Florida Panthers. He suffered an undisclosed injury against the Panthers on Tuesday night and didn't take part in Thursday's morning skate. Nick Paul filled in for Cirelli on the second line, skating next to Jake Guentzel and Brandon Hagel. Mitchell Chaffee, who was a healthy scratch for the series opener, worked on the third line. Losing Cirelli would be a huge blow for the Lightning. He is a strong two-way player who recorded career highs in several categories during the regular season, including goals (27), assists (32), and points (59).

Anthony Cirelli Suffers Undisclosed Injury Tuesday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) didn't finish Tuesday's Game 1 against the Florida Panthers. Due to an undisclosed ailment, he left the bench a couple of times during the second period and did not return for the third. He finished with a minus-two rating over 6:21 of ice time. Cirelli was ineffective in the series opener, but he would be a significant loss for Tampa Bay if he had to sit out additional time. Mitchell Chaffee is likely to enter the lineup as Cirelli's replacement, with Nick Paul potentially moving up to the second line.

Anthony Cirelli Strikes Twice On Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli scored two goals during their 6-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday evening. Cirelli scored his first goal in the second period on a deflection. Later in the third frame, Cirelli would score an empty-netter which put the game out of reach. This was a much-needed breakout outing for Cirelli as he entered Saturday with a seven-game scoreless drought. However, the 27-year-old tallied seven points (two goals) over his last eight contests before that skid. Cirelli continues to play on the top forward unit in Tampa Bay, providing him with high scoring chances. Through 64 total contests this season, he has tallied 47 points (22 goals). He remains a solid option in DFS in favorable matchups and a viable play in deeper formats.

Anthony Cirelli Will Not Play On Thursday

According to Benjamin Pierce of the Tampa Bay Lightning, center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Ottawa Senators. Pierce noted that Nick Paul (undisclosed) will return to the lineup. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Cirelli's status before their final games on Saturday and Sunday before the international break. Cirelli tallied two points over his previous six games (one goal, one helper) with 12 shots on goal and seven blocked shots. Across 51 total contests, Cirelli has found the back of the net 19 times and added 21 helpers. He has been effective in blocking shots, tallying 48 over this stretch. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Jake Guentzel to shift to the second line center role on Thursday evening.

Anthony Cirelli A Game-Time Decision Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the New York Islanders. He is in danger of missing his second game of the season. Cirelli has been offensively anonymous recently, but he's had a solid campaign in general. Through 49 appearances, Cirelli has notched 19 goals and 39 points. Michael Eyssimont is set to fill in for Cirelli on Saturday if he can't play. Eyssimont has not been productive in 2024-25 and should remain off fantasy managers' radars. He has posted seven points (four goals, three assists) in 47 outings.

Anthony Cirelli Doubtful For Tuesday's Matchup

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) has been labeled as doubtful for Tuesday's battle against Edmonton. Cirelli was injured in Sunday's 4-2 win over Vancouver, and it looks like he will miss his first game of the season. Cameron Atkinson will likely re-enter the lineup if Cirelli is ruled out. The veteran winger has been anonymous for most of the campaign, but he's had success in his most recent outings, scoring in two consecutive games. The 35-year-old has amassed three goals and five points with 16 appearances across the season.

Anthony Cirelli Hurt In Sunday's Win

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) was limited to 4:37 of ice time in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Vancouver. He left the contest in the first period following a hit from Canucks defenseman Noah Juulsen. Cirelli has taken major strides offensively this season, moving at nearly a point-per-game pace. He's tallied 11 goals and 24 points in 26 appearances. The 27-year-old faces further evaluations on Monday to determine his availability for Tuesday's game against Edmonton. Gage Goncalves or Conor Geekie might land back in the top six if Cirelli can't play. Tampa Bay also lost defenseman Erik Cernak (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Anthony Cirelli Riding Career-Best Goal Streak

Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli has been hot in front of the net lately, scoring in five consecutive games to set a new career high. Cirelli started the streak on Nov. 14 versus Winnipeg with a power-play goal and recorded his first multi-goal effort of the campaign in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dallas. The 27-year-old has notched eight goals and 13 assists in 19 games overall this season, putting him on pace for a huge career year. Cirelli has never managed more than 45 points in a single campaign, so it's highly unlikely he can maintain his current form. But fantasy managers should continue to ride him until the wheels come off.
