Lizotte (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's opener versus Philadelphia.
Lizotte figures to slot into a fourth-line role now that his upper-body problem is behind him and will likely see time on the penalty kill, where he averaged 2:29 of ice time last season. The 28-year-old forward came one point shy of reaching the 20-point threshold in 2025-26, but he should be capable of pushing for that mark this time around, especially with two additional games.
