2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cirelli had his best season as a pro in 2024-25, as the 27-year-old notched a career-high 27 goals and 59 points and continued to flex his defensive prowess with a plus-30 rating. The end of the season was tough on Cirelli, who scored just two goals in the final 16 games, including the postseason. Brayden Point is entrenched as Tampa’s No. 1 center, so Cirelli won’t benefit from playing with guys like Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel. He should still see time on the second power play, but when fully healthy, the Lightning’s first unit is set, meaning that most of Cirelli’s production must come at five-on-five or shorthanded. While it seems like there’s another level to the offensive game for the two-way center, his expected role on the Lightning as a shutdown center in 2025-26 will likely keep him from maxing out his offensive potential.

ANALYSIS
Cirelli closed out the scoring for the Lightning at the 19:14 mark of the third period with a wrister. It was his 15th goal of the campaign, and the 28-year-old center is now riding a four-game point streak with six points (three goals, three helpers) in that span. Cirelli has been very productive over the last few weeks and is averaging over a point per game in January with 13 (five goals, eight assists) and a plus-10 rating in 12 contests.

There isn't much mystery about what Cirelli might bring to the table in 2024-25. After all, he's recorded between 0.44 and 0.65 points per game in every campaign of his career, which translates to a range of roughly 36-53 points per 82 contests. Cirelli does have a bit of an injury history, which is an x-factor, but he finished with over 75 regular-season appearances in two of his past three campaigns. As such, it's not a staggering issue, and if you were to pencil him in for 40-45 points for the 2024-25 campaign, you'll probably finish the season satisfied with the results. The 27-year-old is unlikely to help you much in other categories, but he should at least give you more than 30 PIM, 100 shots and 60 hits. Cirelli will also probably finish with a positive plus/minus rating as a member of the capable Lightning.
