Draws helper in overtime win Lizotte logged an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Impact 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.

Good to return Thursday Lizotte (lower body) is expected to be activated off the long-term injured reserve list and play Thursday versus Nashville, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Lizotte, who was last in the lineup Jan. 15, has five goals and nine points in 34 outings in 2023-24. He's set to play on the third unit alongside Pierre-Luc Dubois and Quinton Byfield.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to LTIR Lizotte (lower body) was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve Thursday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

On injured reserve Lizotte (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Lizotte (lower body) was deemed "doubtful" to face Dallas on Tuesday according to coach Todd McLellan, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Lizotte logged just 2:49 of ice time prior to leaving the game. He entered Monday's action with nine points, 46 shots on goal and 26 hits in 33 outings this season.

Impact 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.

Ready to play Lizotte (undisclosed) is set to return to the lineup Thursday versus the Canadiens, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Lizotte will miss his sixth straight contest, but he inching his way toward a potential return.

Not playing against Montreal Lizotte (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Canadiens, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Out Friday Lizotte (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Friday versus Anaheim, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Lizotte also missed Monday's 4-1 win against Arizona because of the injury. He has four goals and seven points in 16 contests this season. Jaret Anderson-Dolan, who drew into the lineup Monday, is expected to once again serve on the fourth line Friday.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with undisclosed issue Lizotte is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't be available versus Arizona on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Coach Todd McLellan isn't sure if Lizotte is closer to the day-to-day or 7-10 day range in terms of his recovery, but either way, the 25-year-old forward isn't expected to be sidelined long term with his undisclosed injury. With Lizotte, who's picked up four goals and seven points through 16 contests this campaign, sidelined, look for Jaret Anderson-Dolan to slot into the lineup versus the Coyotes on Monday.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets game-winning goal Saturday Lizotte scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Lizotte snapped a four-game point drought with the tally, which came 19 seconds after Quinton Byfield opened the scoring on the power play. Lizotte's tally ended up being the game-winner. The 25-year-old is up to four goals, three helpers, 20 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating through 16 outings, carving out solid offense for a fourth-liner.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Garners helper in shootout loss Lizotte recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Lizotte has gotten on the scoresheet in every other game this season. The 25-year-old delivered a secondary helper on Trevor Lewis' second-period tally Saturday. Lizotte has two goals, three assists, seven shots on net, five hits and a plus-5 rating through eight contests. He sees virtually no power-play time and works in a fourth-line role at even strength, but there's enough offense to go around on a Kings team that is getting production from virtually every spot in the lineup.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goal, assist in win Lizotte scored a goal, dished an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Lizotte's second-period tally held as the game-winner. He also set up a Trevor Lewis goal in the first. While he's primarily been the fourth-line center this season, Lizotte has two goals, two assists, five shots on net and a plus-4 rating through six contests. His 12:16 of ice time Tuesday was a season-high, so it may be difficult for him to be a steady contributor on offense without an increased role.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs assist Saturday Lizotte produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Lizotte helped out on a Vladislav Gavrikov goal in the third period. The helper was Lizotte's first point in two games this season, and he's added three shots on net. He's seeing fourth-line usage so far, but with the Kings opening the season with a pair of losses, it's possible he could be bumped up into a middle-six role at some point in the near future. Lizotte had 34 points and averaged 12:57 of ice time per game over 81 outings in 2022-23.

OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Lizotte (lower body) is expected to play in Saturday's Game 6 versus the Oilers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Lizotte missed the last three games with the injury. He'll return to a fourth-line role, centering Carl Grundstrom and Rasmus Kupari in a must-win game for the Kings. Lizotte had three shots on goal and four hits without recording a point in the first two contests of the playoffs.
