Cirelli (upper-body) is expected to return to the Lightning lineup on Saturday.

Cirelli has been out since February 11th with an upper-body injury but all signs are pointing towards him returning to the lineup on Saturday. Cirelli skated with Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos and took reps on the second power-play unit in the morning skate. He had four goals and six assists (10 points) in 12 games before getting hurt.

The Lightning re-signed Anthony Cirelli to a three-year contract worth $14.4 million ($4.8M AAV).

Cirelli is coming off of a really strong second season in the NHL, where he scored 16 goals and 28 assists (44 points) in 68 games. Cirelli had to take on a bigger role with Steven Stamkos injured for a good portion of the season and he flourished as the Lightning's No.2 centre. With Nikita Kucherov out for all of 2021, he will likely play the same role and Stamkos will shift over to the wing to fill-in for Kucherov. Cirelli's ceiling will be capped so long as he is playing with the likes of Alex Killorn and Tyler Johnson and not the upper echelon of talent in Tampa Bay, but he's a player that should have a 20-goal, 30-assist pace in 2021's shortened season.
