Cizikas (undisclosed) will play Tuesday versus Montreal, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. Cizikas will be good to go despite missing Tuesday's morning skate. He has contributed one goal, two points, 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 53 hits across 25 outings this campaign.

Cizikas (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Montreal, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. After participating in Monday's practice, Cizikas was absent from Tuesday's morning skate. Jean-Gabriel Pageau (lower body) will also be a game-time call versus the Canadiens, but he is seemingly on the more probable side of playing following a two-game absence. If Cizikas sits out Tuesday's game, Pierre Engvall may play, or the Islanders could go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Cizikas scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers. Cizikas got his first goal of 2024-25 at the 4:38 mark of the second period after Igor Shesterkin misplayed a long shot by Pierre Engvall. The 33-year-old Cizikas has two points through 12 outings this season. He won't produce much offensively but adds a physical presence as the Islanders' third-line center.

Cizikas posted an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. Cizikas is a bottom-six mainstay for the Islanders, but that hadn't come with much offense prior to Saturday. The 33-year-old got on the scoresheet following a move to the wing on the third line. The natural center has added five shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances. Cizikas is more valuable on the ice than in fantasy, though he can chip in above-average production for a forward in hits and blocks most of the time.

Cizikas logged an assist in Monday's 5-3 loss to Carolina. Cizikas redirected a pass off the wall to Mathew Barzal, who then found Bo Horvat for a one-timer in the slot late in the first period to put the Islanders up 2-0. The 33-year-old Cizikas recorded 15:47 of ice time and had two hits and one blocked shot Monday. He'll likely continue to skate on the first line with Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat during Thursday's Game 3.
