Top Blake Lizotte News

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Finds twine Friday

    Lizotte scored a goal, had two shots on net and added three hits during Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

    Lizotte's tally tied the game at 1-1 at the 2:25 mark of the second period. The 27-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 13 points and 38 shots on net across 37 appearances this season. Friday's goal ended a 16-game point drought for Lizotte. His debut season with the Penguins is unlikely to surpass his career-high of 34 points from the 2022-23 campaign. However, Lizotte is two goals shy of tying his career-best of 11 tallies from that same season.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Back in action

    Lizotte (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday versus Utah.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Still dealing with illness

    Lizotte (illness) will not be available for Monday's road game against the Sharks.

    Lizotte will miss his third consecutive game Monday. The left-shot forward's next chance to return to the lineup will be Wednesday in Utah, when Pittsburgh concludes its five-game road trip. Lizotte has accounted for eight markers, four helpers and a plus-5 rating across 33 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Remains out Saturday

    Lizotte (illness) won't play against Seattle on Saturday.

    Lizotte will miss his second straight game. He has eight goals and 12 points in 33 appearances in 2024-25. His next opportunity to draw into the lineup will come Monday in San Jose.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Battling illness

    Lizotte will miss Thursday's tilt against Anaheim due to an illness.

    Lizotte has eight goals and 12 points in 33 appearances in 2024-25. His exit from the lineup coincides with Rickard Rakell, who missed Monday's 5-1 win over Los Angeles for personal reasons, returning.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Tallies late on power play

    Lizotte scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.

    Lizotte was on the ice on a late power play and cashed in the Penguins' final goal of the game. He's typically not a factor with the man advantage, seeing just traces of time at the ends of power plays to provide a steady defensive presence. The 27-year-old has done well in a bottom-six role this season, logging eight goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 26 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 20 appearances. He's on pace to return to the 20-point threshold after missing that mark over 62 games with the Kings last year.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Extends productive stretch

    Lizotte scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

    Lizotte might play in the fourth line, but there's no question the 27-year-old is going through his most productive stretch of the season. He's cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven outings, racking up four goals and four assists in that span. Lizotte has almost no chance of sustaining this production unless he moves up the lineup, but the 27-year-old is finding ways to make his presence felt more often than not.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Fills empty net

    Lizotte scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Lizotte continues to produce from a bottom-six spot. He has four goals and three assists over his last six contests, and his tally Saturday was his first shorthanded point of the campaign. He has logged multiple shorthanded points in four of the previous five seasons. Overall, the 26-year-old has six goals, three helpers, 16 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances in 2024-25. The Penguins haven't gotten much out of their depth, but Lizotte is a notable exception in that regard.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Continues to produce

    Lizotte notched a goal and added three hits in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Lizotte couldn't extend his multi-point streak to three games, but he continues to thrive offensively in recent contests. He has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last five appearances, posting three goals and three assists in that span. Lizotte has appeared in only 12 games this season but has been productive. He has five goals, eight points, 14 shots and 19 hits.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Four points in last two games

    Lizotte had two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Lizotte has four points (two goals, two assists) over his last two games, and he's off to a roaring start with seven points, including four goals, in 11 games so far. Unfortunately, he has fired only 13 shots in those 11 games, and his 30.8 shooting percentage is unsustainable. Lizotte is on a nice run, but it's unlikely to last -- his career-best point total is 34 (2022-23).

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Two-point effort against Flames

    Lizotte scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over Calgary.

    After helping to set up Anthony Beauvillier for the game's opening tally late in the first period, Lizotte wrapped up the scoring himself late in the third. Like a lot of Penguins, Lizotte produced his best performance of the season Saturday, and while he's already been sidelined by multiple concussions in 2024-25, the 26-year-old has four goals and five points in the 10 games he's been able to suit up for.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Scores in return from injury

    Lizotte netted an even-strength goal Wednesday in a 5-4 win over Vancouver.

    Lizotte opened the scoring in the first period Wednesday in his return to the lineup after missing five games due to a concussion. The left-shot center settled in on the third line between Anthony Beauvillier and Drew O'Connor in addition to filling a role on the penalty kill. The 26-year-old Lizotte has three markers but hasn't recorded an assist through eight contests in 2024-25.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Removed from IR

    Lizotte (concussion) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

    Lizotte should return to the lineup from a five-game absence Wednesday against Vancouver after being considered a game-time decision. He has two goals, eight shots on net and 13 hits through seven appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Game-time call

    Lizotte (concussion) is regarded as a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt versus Vancouver, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

    Lizotte hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 13. He has two goals and 13 hits over seven appearances in 2024-25. If Lizotte plays Wednesday, it might be as a member of the third line alongside Michael Bunting and Drew O'Connor.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Upgraded to day-to-day

    Lizotte (concussion) was labeled day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Vancouver, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

    Lizotte skated in a third-line role at Tuesday's practice session, which would seem to point to him getting back in the lineup versus the Canucks -- though he technically remains on injured reserve. The acquisition of Philip Tomasino from the Predators will create further competition for lineup spots, so Lizotte is far from a lock for minutes on a nightly basis.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: On injured reserve

    Lizotte (concussion) was put on injured reserve Friday.

    Lizotte last played Wednesday, so this move can be retroactive to that date. Pittsburgh activated Matt Nieto (knee) off injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Lizotte has two goals, 13 hits and four blocks in seven appearances in 2024-25. When he's healthy, Lizotte will be back in the mix for a spot on Pittsburgh's fourth line.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Diagnosed with concussion

    Lizotte suffered a concussion against Detroit on Wednesday and won't be available for Friday's matchup with Columbus, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    With the Penguins heading into a back-to-back, Lizotte shouldn't be expected to face the Sharks on Saturday either as he clears the league's concussion protocols. Unless Matt Nieto (knee) is finally cleared to play, it figures to be Vasily Ponomarev who steps into the lineup in Lizotte's stead. With injuries pilling up and the trade of Lars Eller, Pittsburgh finds itself somewhat thin down the middle outside of the two-headed monster.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Exits after puck to face

    Lizotte (face) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings.

    Lizotte took a puck to the face in the first period and was bleeding heavily as he came off the ice. He joins a growing list of injured forwards for the Penguins, and the team may need to call up a player if Lizotte can't suit up Friday versus the Blue Jackets.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Tallies lone goal in loss

    Lizotte scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Lizotte's goal in the third period ended Pyotr Kochetkov's shutout bid. With two goals over four games this season, Lizotte has added a bit of unexpected depth scoring from the fourth line. He's produced four shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The Penguins have frequently shuffled their lines looking for chemistry, and if Lizotte continues to play well, he may be due to move up the lineup.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Ensures win

    Lizotte scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Montreal. He finished with one shot, one block and two hits.

    Lizotte, playing just his second game following a stint on injured reserve due to a concussion, iced the Canadiens with the tally. Montreal had made it a one-goal game earlier in the third period and were pressing for the equalizer. Lizotte, who signed a two-year deal with Pittsburgh during the offseason, has opened his career in the Steel City centering the fourth line.
