Anthony Cirelli Excelling as Top Center During Point's Injury Absence
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli is highlighted as a solid waiver wire pickup, currently operating as the Bolts' top even-strength center while Brayden Point is injured. Cirelli recently had a four-game scoring streak snapped, during which he totaled three goals, four assists, and five shots. This upswing isn't new, as he had already excelled before Point's injury with 10 points across 11 outings. While lead power-play time is limited and Point may return next week, Cirelli is expected to remain a solid fantasy option.
