First two goals of season Cirelli scored twice Monday in a 4-3 win over Boston.

Impact Cirelli redirected a centering pass from Jake Guentzel past Joonas Korpisalo at 1:09 of the first to get the Bolts on the board fast. He then went glove side on Korpisalo to make it 2-0 at 13:16 of the second. The goals are Cirelli's first points of the season (three games). He established new career marks for goals (27), assists (32), points (59), plus-minus (plus 30) and shots (160) in 2024-25. Cirelli is in his prime and a repeat of last season (or better) is entirely possible.

Impact Cirelli had been working with the second line and No. 2 power-play unit prior to getting hurt in Game 1 on Tuesday, so look for him to resume those roles if given the all-clear. If not, Nick Paul is poised to take the top-six spot at even strength, playing alongside Jake Guentzel.

Picks up pair of helpers Cirelli notched two assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Cirelli had a hand in the Lightning's first two goals, scored by Jake Guentzel and Ryan McDonagh. With five points over his last three outings, Cirelli has rebounded from a lull that saw him log just one helper between March 27 and April 7, a span of six games. For the season, the two-way center is up to 27 goals, 31 assists, 157 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a plus-30 rating over 78 appearances. Unless he's rested for one of the Lightning's last two regular-season games, he has a decent chance to earn his first 60-point campaign.

Scores, assists vs. Detroit Cirelli recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Cirelli broke the deadlock in the early stages of the first period with his 27th goal of the season, and he also set up one of Gage Goncalves' goals, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Lightning to victory. Cirelli has four points over his last six games (one goal, three assists), and while he's ending the campaign on a bit of a cold streak with only 11 points in 21 appearances since the beginning of March, he'll end up with career-high marks in several categories. He's up to 56 points (27 goals, 29 assists) in 77 games in 2024-25, and this is the first year he has surpassed the 50-point mark in a season.

Collects assist Cirelli managed an assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Cirelli's offense has gone a little quiet lately -- he's in a seven-game goal drought and has just two assists, a plus-3 rating and 10 shots in that span. The 27-year-old center is up to 54 points, 152 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-27 rating over 76 appearances this season. Fantasy managers considering Cirelli for playoff pools may want to look elsewhere, as he'll likely be forced into more of a shutdown role once the postseason begins.
