Impact Cooper didn't seem too concerned about Cirelli, but added that the team would see how he's doing Wednesday. He'll be considered day-to-day leading into a road back-to-back this weekend. The Lightning visit the Blackhawks on Friday and the Blue Jackets on Saturday. Prior to his exit, Cirelli scored a goal, giving him 13 tallies and 29 points through 44 outings this season.

Five points in last four games Cirelli put up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

Impact 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. But Cirelli still struggles at the dot. He's 25-for-55 (45.5 percent) over his last four. 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.

Fills empty cage Cirelli scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact 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.

Five points in last five games Cirelli had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Los Angeles on Thursday.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Two-point effort Monday Cirelli picked up a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact 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

Closes out scoring Saturday Cirelli scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.

Impact Cirelli closed out the scoring for the Lightning with a backhander at the 15:51 mark 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 between Nov. 8 and Nov. 16 due to an upper-body injury, but 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.

Slides smooth assist Cirelli had an assist and one shot on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to play versus New Jersey Cirelli (upper body) is expected to be available for Tuesday's home contest against the Devils, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Cirelli last suited up Nov. 6 in Vegas but is set to return to game action Tuesday. The left-shot center should resume his usual duties on the second line while seeing time with the man advantage.

Remains out Sunday Cirelli (upper body) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Cirelli will miss yet another game, his fourth in a row, while he battles an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has 11 points (seven goals, four assists) in 14 games with a plus-6 rating this season, a valuable part of the Lightning forward group. His status will likely continue to be up in the air going into Tuesday's game against the Devils.

Unavailable Saturday Cirelli (lower body) won't play against Florida on Saturday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact 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 even 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.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Cirelli will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The 28-year-old's next chance to return will be Saturday against the Panthers. Cirelli's absence will lead to a larger role for Yanni Gourde in Wednesday's contest.
