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.
