Cirelli scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 3.'

EDGE Analysis

Cirelli scored an empty-net goal for the 5-1 final at 15:00. He also put up 14 PIM, including a 10-minute misconduct on the ensuing faceoff after he scored. Cirelli's role will center around his shutdown abilities this postseason, so there probably won't be many points.

Cirelli (undisclosed) will play against Florida in Game 2 on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Cirelli was regarded as a game-time decision after exiting Game 1 on Tuesday due to the injury. He had 27 goals and 59 points across 80 appearances during the regular season. Cirelli is projected to skate on the second line alongside Brandon Hagel and Jake Guentzel versus the Panthers.

Cirelli (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's Game 2 matchup with the Panthers after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "We'll see if he can take warmups and, if he is cleared to play, he'll play," per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Cirelli (undisclosed) did not finish Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Panthers, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cirelli left the bench a couple of times in the second period and didn't return after the second departure. There was no information on his status after the contest. His status for Game 2 on Thursday is up in the air -- if Cirelli can't play, Mitchell Chaffee would likely enter the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Cirelli broke the deadlock in the early stages of the first period and set up one of Gage Goncalves' two goals. Cirelli has four points over his last six games (one goal, three assists). He has only 11 points in 21 appearances since the beginning of March, but it's been a productive campaign overall. He has 27 goals and 29 assists through 77 games in 2024-25, surpassing the 50-point mark for the first time in a season.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Cirelli scored two goals in a 6-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

They came in his 500th NHL game. Cirelli opened the scoring from the low slot at 12:13 of the first, and then extended the lead to 3-0 a few minutes later with a wrister from the left circle. Cirelli's offense has woken up lately, and he's put up four goals and one assist (13 shots) in his last four games. He now has 52 points, including 26 goals, in 69 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Cirelli is heating up at the right time for fantasy managers who are locked in playoff battles. He has three points, including two goals, in his last two games, and four goals (five points) in his last four. Cirelli's goal Saturday was his 24th of the season and 50th point. He might be able to hit the 60-point plateau this season if he can carry a bit of heat over the next few weeks. That would help fantasy managers make a late-season run.

He's below a 60-point pace, but a touch of luck might take him over the top.
