Cirelli will miss Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Per the Lightning, Cirelli is dealing with a lower-body injury.
Cirelli got banged up Wednesday versus the Sabres, and he'll need to miss at least one game. His absence further depletes the Lightning's center depth, which is already thin due to Brayden Point's undisclosed injury. Sam O'Reilly will handle a larger role Thursday, while Gage Goncalves should be back in the lineup after a healthy scratch.
