• Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Tallies late on power play

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Lizotte scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers. Lizotte was on the ice on a late power play and cashed in the Penguins' final goal of the game. He's typically not a factor with the man advantage, seeing just traces of time at the ends of power plays to provide a steady defensive presence. The 27-year-old has done well in a bottom-six role this season, logging eight goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 26 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 20 appearances. He's on pace to return to the 20-point threshold after missing that mark over 62 games with the Kings last year.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Lizotte scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

He's cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven outings, racking up four goals and four assists in that span. Lizotte has almost no chance of sustaining this production unless he moves up the lineup, but the 27-year-old is finding ways to make his presence felt more often than not.

  Lizotte scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. Lizotte continues to produce from a bottom-six spot.

The Penguins haven't gotten much out of their depth, but Lizotte is a notable exception in that regard.

• Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Four points in last two games

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Lizotte had two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers on Tuesday. Lizotte has four points (two goals, two assists) over his last two games, and he's off to a roaring start with seven points, including four goals, in 11 games so far. Unfortunately, he has fired only 13 shots in those 11 games, and his 30.8 shooting percentage is unsustainable. Lizotte is on a nice run, but it's unlikely to last -- his career-best point total is 34 (2022-23).
