Lightning prospect Anthony Cirelli named CHL Player of the Week

The CHL has named Anthony Cirelli the Player of the Week. Cirelli had four goals and five assists for nine points over just four games played this past week as his Erie Otters advanced to the OHL Finals.

Cirelli was drafted 72nd overall in the third round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning. General Manager Steve Yzerman acquired the pick used to take Cirelli by trading the 28th overall pick in the first round for this pick. He also acquired a second round pick that was used to select Mitchell Stephens. Cirelli and the Otters defeated Stephens and the London Knights in the second round of the OHL playoffs.
