Anthony Cirelli Sidelined Saturday with Lower Body Injury; Consistent Two-Way Play Noted

Anthony Cirelli of the Tampa Bay Lightning will not play against Florida on Saturday due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old center is known for his consistent two-way play, elite forechecking, and possession skills, often projected for 36-53 points per 82 games. For the 2024-25 season, he's anticipated to contribute 40-45 points, over 30 PIM, 100 shots, and 60 hits, likely with a positive plus/minus. Despite a past injury history, he has made over 75 regular-season appearances in two of his last three campaigns. A 2015 third-round pick, Cirelli signed an eight-year, $50 million contract and is considered a solid option in deeper fantasy formats.
