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.

Adds helper in loss Cizikas logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Cizikas snapped a nine-game point drought with the lone assist on Matt Martin's third-period marker.

Game-time decision Cizikas (illness) will be a game-time decision Sunday against Pittsburgh, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Cizikas sat out Friday's 5-1 win over Washington. If he returns to the lineup Sunday, Matt Martin could be a healthy scratch. In his fourth-line role this season, Cizikas has contributed five goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net. 36 blocked shots and 55 hits over 34 games.

Impact Cizikas is currently stuck in a six-game pointless streak during which he managed just seven shots while averaging 14:21 of ice time. If the veteran center does miss out Friday, it will open up a spot in the lineup for either Julien Gauthier or Matt Martin.

Cizikas is up to five goals and 10 points through 28 games this season. He's also added 44 hits and 29 blocked shots.

Coach Lane Lambert has talked to Cizikas about taking too many penalties, as he has already set a career-high in Penalty minutes with 50. Injuries have also forced Cizikas to play without his usual linemates, Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck (upper body). The Islanders will need offensive contributions from all their forwards to reach the playoffs this season.

Impact With zero points in his last nine contests, Cizikas's potential return is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. If the 31-year-old center can't give it a go Tuesday, Otto Koivula is the most likely player to step into the lineup in Cizikas's stead.
