Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Off injured reserve
Lizotte (concussion) was removed from injured reserve Thursday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Lizotte was considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against Anaheim, but this seems to suggest that he's ready to play. The 26-year-old is projected to serve on the third line alongside Kevin Hayes and Anthony Beauvillier. He hasn't played yet in 2024-25, but Lizotte recorded seven goals and 15 points across 62 regular-season outings with the Kings in 2023-24.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Game-time decision Thursday
Lizotte (concussion) will be a game-time decision versus Anaheim on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Lizotte suffered the concussion during a preseason game versus Ottawa on Sept. 29 and has yet to see any action this season. He was cleared Thursday for full contact, the first time since he was concussed. The 26-year-old had seven goals and 15 points in 62 regular-season games with the Kings in 2023-24.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Placed on IR
Lizotte (concussion) landed on injured reserve Monday.
Lizotte's designation for IR shouldn't come as a surprise considering he is out indefinitely after sustaining a concussion. Even once medically cleared, the Minnesota-born winger is far from guaranteed a spot on the Penguins' roster and could find himself heading down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Suffers concussion
Lizotte is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a concussion, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Lizotte's availability for Pittsburgh's Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 9 is in question. He sustained the concussion during Sunday's preseason contest against Ottawa. Lizotte had seven goals and 15 points across 62 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Leaves game with injury
Lizotte exited Sunday's preseason game against Ottawa with an upper-body injury.
The severity of Lizotte's injury is unclear at this time, but he won't return to Sunday's exhibition contest. Lizotte signed a two-year contract with Pittsburgh in July after spending the first six years of his career with Los Angeles.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Inks two-year contract
Lizotte agreed to terms on a two-year, $3.7 million deal with the Penguins on Monday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Lizotte saw his production dip last year, as he tallied just 15 points in 62 regular-season contests with the Kings. Both Lizotte and the Penguins will be hoping for a bounce-back year by the 26-year-old forward. For now, Lizotte will likely slide into a third-line role, possibly playing with fellow new addition Anthony Beauvillier, but he could challenge Drew O'Connor and Michael Bunting for a spot in the top six.

Lizotte scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
Lizotte scored for the first time since March 25 -- he had just two assists over the nine games in between goals. The 26-year-old forward is up to 15 points, 75 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Puts up assist

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Draws helper in overtime win
Lizotte logged an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
This was Lizotte's first point in eight games since he returned from a lower-body injury that landed him on long-term injured reserve for over a month. The 26-year-old has resumed a bottom-six role, though he saw a healthy 16:10 of ice time Thursday. He's produced 10 points, 50 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-4 rating through 42 contests overall, production too low to help most fantasy managers.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Shifts to LTIR
Lizotte (lower body) was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve Thursday.
Lizotte has already missed 10 games and more than 24 days of action, so he'll be eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy enough to play. He's picked up only nine points through 34 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track Lizotte's status.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: On injured reserve
Lizotte (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Lizotte has five goals and nine points in 34 games this season. He was already projected to be out until after the All-Star break, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period on Tuesday, so putting him on IR doesn't alter his timetable. Jaret Anderson-Dolan might play more regularly during Lizotte's absence.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Likely out through All-Star break
Lizotte (lower body) will likely be out through the All-Star break, according to Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.
That would sideline Lizotte, who was injured Monday versus Carolina, until at least Feb. 10 against Edmonton. Per Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty, Lizotte is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, which could provide a better timeline for his return. The 26-year-old forward has nine points, 46 shots on goal and 26 hits in 34 contests this campaign.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Lizotte (lower body) was deemed "doubtful" to face Dallas on Tuesday, coach Todd McLellan told Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Lizotte looks set to miss out versus the Stars, his second stint in the infirmary this season. Considering the 26-year-old center is stuck in an 11-game pointless streak and has scored just once in his last 18 games, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his absence. Arthur Kaliyev figures to rejoin the lineup with Lizotte sidelined, though the recently recalled Samuel Fagemo could also be an option.

Lizotte (lower body) won't return to Monday's contest against Carolina.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Capitalizes on turnover
Lizotte scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.
Lizotte got the puck on a turnover in the Kraken's zone and had plenty of net to hit. The 26-year-old snapped a goal drought dating back to Nov. 18 versus the Blues, which was a game in which he got hurt and missed the next six contests. Through 23 outings this season, Lizotte has five goals, four helpers, 30 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. He's earned three of his nine points while on the penalty kill.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Earns helper Tuesday
Lizotte logged a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Lizotte set up Trevor Lewis for an empty-net goal late in the third period. The helper ended a five-game point drought for Lizotte -- he hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since his return from an undisclosed injury that cost him six contests. The 26-year-old forward remains in a fourth-line role, where he's accumulated eight points (two shorthanded), 27 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-7 rating over 22 appearances.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Ready to play
Lizotte (undisclosed) is set to return to the lineup Thursday versus the Canadiens, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Lizotte missed six games with the injury. The 25-year-old will return to the fourth-line center role he's filled for much of the campaign. He had just two goals over his last six games before the injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much offense out of him.

Kings' Blake Lizotte: Getting closer
Lizotte (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus Columbus, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Lizotte will miss his sixth straight contest, but he's inching his way toward a potential return.

Lizotte has generated seven points, 20 shots on goal and 12 hits over 16 appearances this season.
