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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Lizotte snapped a three-game point drought when he set up Arthur Kaliyev's opening tally in the second period. The 25-year-old Lizotte has earned steady run as the third-line center this season. He's produced 11 goals, 23 assists, 108 shots on net, 95 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 80 contests, offering enough across the board to be on the radar in deeper formats for fantasy drafts next fall.

He's been far better than that overall, posting 10 goals, 21 assists, 102 shots on net, 85 hits, 58 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 75 outings this season.

Struggling offensively Lizotte is on a nine-game goal-scoring drought and has just one assist in that span.

Impact Lizotte enjoyed a good stretch just before his current slump, providing two goals and nine points over nine contests from Jan. 22-Feb. 18. The 25-year-old has nine goals and 29 points in 66 outings this season. Despite his recent offensive woes, Lizotte has averaged 14:51 of ice time over his last five contests, which is up from 12:44 over his first 61 games. If he maintains that increased role, then Lizotte might start to see his scoring pace increase, even if it hasn't led to results yet.
