Scores in loss Cizikas scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Cizikas got his first goal of 2024-25 at the 4:38 mark of the second period after Igor Shesterkin misplayed a long shot by Pierre Engvall. The 33-year-old Cizikas has two points through 12 outings this season. He won't produce much offensively but can top 160 hits if he stays healthy.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Cizikas posted an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Cizikas is a bottom-six mainstay for the Islanders, but that hadn't come with much offense prior to Saturday. The 33-year-old got on a scoresheet following a move to the wing on the third line. The natural center has added five shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances. Cizikas is more valuable on the ice than in fantasy, though he can chip in above-average production for a forward in hits and blocks most of the time.

Drury, Noesen help Hurricanes beat Islanders 6-3 to clinch NHL playoff 1st-round series in 5 games

Registers assist Cizikas logged an assist in Monday's 5-3 loss to Carolina.
Impact Cizikas redirected a pass off the wall to Matt Barzel, who then found Bo Horvat for a one-timer in the slot late into the first period to put the Islanders up 2-0. The 33-year-old recorded 15:47 of ice time and had two hits and one blocked shot. He will likely be on the first line with Matthew Barzel and Bo Horvat heading into game three.
APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in OT win Cizikas scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Canadiens.
Impact Cizikas tied the game 2-2 midway through the third period, beating Sam Montembeault to the far post on a wrap-around. It's Cizikas' first goal since March 10 -- he had five assists in his previous 15 contests, though he's seen time on the Islanders' top line with Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal of late. Overall, the 33-year-old veteran has nine goals, 22 points and 131 hits through 67 games this season.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Two helpers in Thursday's win Cizikas notched two assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
Impact The 33-year-old helped set up a Ryan Pulock tally in the first period and a Mathew Barzal goal in the second. Cizikas hadn't had a multi-point performance since Feb. 29, and on the season the checking-line forward has only eight goals and 19 points through 60 games.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Opens scoring Sunday Cizikas scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Cizikas opened the scoring at 5:11 of the first period. The center snapped a three-game slump with the tally. He's up to eight goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, 102 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 51 contests overall in a bottom-six role.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Warming up Saturday Cizikas (hand) is set to play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Impact Cizikas was ruled a game-time decision after missing Thursday's contest with a hand injury, though it appears the veteran center will suit up in his regular fourth-line role. The 32-year-old Cizikas has six goals and 12 points in 44 games this season.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time decision Saturday Cizikas (hand) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
Impact Cizikas will partake in the pre-game warmup, per coach Patrick Roy, and then a decision will be made on his status. Cizikas was injured Tuesday in Pittsburgh and sat out Thursday's tilt in St. Louis. He has six goals, six assists and 97 hits in 44 games this season. Should Cizikas return to the lineup, look for Kyle MacLean to be a healthy scratch.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Out Thursday Cizikas (hand) isn't available for Thursday's game in St. Louis. He'll be evaluated after the Islanders return to New York, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Impact Cizikas was injured when he took a shot off his hand during Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Pittsburgh. After Thursday's contest, the Islanders will return home to host the Lightning on Saturday. In the meantime, Kyle MacLean, who was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, is projected to draw into the lineup with Cizikas unavailable.
FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves Tuesday's game Cizikas blocked a shot with his hand in Tuesday's game versus the Penguins, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.
Impact Cizikas went to the locker room a couple of times Tuesday, but the hand issue is of the most concern. It's unclear if he'll be able to play Thursday versus the Blues. With Hudson Fasching (illness) also questionable, the Islanders may need to call up a forward or play with seven defensemen.
FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Nets goal in return Cizikas scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.
Impact Cizikas missed 10 games while dealing with a lower-body injury. He celebrated his return with a steal-and-score play for his first tally since Dec. 13. The fourth-line center is hardly a consistent scorer, but he's steady defensively as a fixture in the Islanders' lineup when healthy. For the season, he has 12 points, 45 shots on net, 70 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 40 appearances.
FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Activated Thursday Cizikas (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Impact Cizikas will play on the fourth line with Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck as the Islanders returned Kyle MacLean to AHL Bridgeport in a corresponding move. Cizikas missed 10 games with the injury. He has five goals, six assists, 69 hits and 42 blocked shots in 39 games this season.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to LTIR Cizikas (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Saturday, according to CapFriendly.
Impact In order to activate Ryan Pulock (lower body) from long-term injured reserve, the Islanders also moved Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) to LTIR on Saturday. It's unclear when Cizikas will be available to return to action, but he won't be in the lineup Monday versus the Maple Leafs. He has earned five goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 69 hits across 39 appearances this season.
FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
On injured reserve Cizikas was put on injured reserve Wednesday retroactive to Jan. 9, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Impact The move being retroactive means Cizikas can be activated whenever he's healthy. However, he was listed as week-to-week, per Andrew Gross of Newsday on Thursday, so the 32-year-old forward probably won't return soon. Cizikas has five goals, 11 points, 69 hits and 42 blocks in 39 outings in 2023-24. Hudson Fasching has been playing regularly during Cizikas' absence.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Out week-to-week Cizikas will be out of action week-to-week after suffering a lower-body injury Tuesday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Impact Cizikas has five goals and 11 points with 69 hits and 42 blocked shots in 39 games this season. Hudson Fasching will draw back into the lineup after missing the last three games as a healthy scratch.
