Pair of Points From Anthony Cirelli Lifts Lightning Over Ducks
5 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli picked up a goal and an assist Friday night as Tampa Bay slid by Anaheim 4-3. Cirelli has been red hot as of late, scoring nine points in his last six games, which is his second such streak this season. A selective shooter, Cirelli will not boost his fantasy value much with his 1.64 shots per game rate, but a consistent 15.9 percent shooting percentage keeps him on the scoresheet despite the limited opportunities. His career average shooting percentage is 16 percent, and he has yet to have a season under 15.4 percent. Cirelli had been playing with Stamkos for a time but produced on Friday alongside Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat. That he is putting up points without playing with some of Tampa Bay's elite talent, only shows how much more valuable he is than his 24 percent Yahoo! ownership would suggest.
