Some encouraging news came from the latest Tampa Bay Lightning practice as Anthony Cirelli appeared in a regular jersey for the first time since suffering his injury, meaning that he has been cleared for contact. The Lightning forward sustained a AC joint sprain during the playoffs, which required a shoulder surgery. Initially Cirelli was expected to miss around 4-6 months, earlier this November Jon Cooper mentioned that he expects him to return mid-December.
