Outlook Anthony Cirelli

Cirelli looks to stay hot in road matchup against Wild

Anthony Cirelli heads to Grand Casino Arena tonight as Tampa Bay visits Minnesota in the opening leg of a weekend back-to-back. The Lightning enter as road favorites in a higher-scoring environment, likely facing Calvin Pickard (confirmed) in net for the Wild. Cirelli has been locked in offensively, tallying five points across his last five contests, including a close-range marker earlier this week against Detroit. Operating as the third-line center alongside Brandon Hagel and Gage Goncalves while holding down second-unit power-play duties, Cirelli continues to provide reliable two-way minutes for a surging 10-3-2 Lightning squad.

Our projection anticipates another productive outing for Cirelli, slating him for ~1 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and 3.1 fantasy points with small power-play upside. Tampa Bay is in the midst of a four-game week, with tonight representing the third tilt before concluding a back-to-back tomorrow in Winnipeg. Our models project roughly six fantasy points across this four-game slate, offering steady multi-category value for managers needing center assistance over the weekend. With his current scoring rhythm and favorable matchup, he represents a quality plug-in option. Today’s action: Stream.
