Top Casey Cizikas News

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Scores in loss

    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.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Gets on scoresheet with helper

    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.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Registers assist

    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.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Scores in OT win

    Cizikas scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Canadiens.

    Cizikas tied the game 2-2 midway through the third period, beating Sam Montembeault to the far post on a wrap-around. It's Cizikas' first goal since March 10 -- he had five assists in his previous 15 contests, though he's seen time on the Islanders' top line with Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal of late. Overall, the 33-year-old veteran has nine goals, 22 points and 131 hits through 67 games this season.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Two helpers in Thursday's win

    Cizikas notched two assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.

    The 33-year-old helped set up a Ryan Pulock tally in the first period and a Mathew Barzal goal in the second. Cizikas hadn't had a multi-point performance since Feb. 29, and on the season the checking-line forward has only eight goals and 19 points through 60 games.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Warming up Saturday

    Cizikas (hand) is set to play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Cizikas was ruled a game-time decision after missing Thursday's contest with a hand injury, though it appears the veteran center will suit up in his regular fourth-line role. The 32-year-old Cizikas has six goals and 12 points in 44 games this season.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Game-time decision Saturday

    Cizikas (hand) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Cizikas will partake in the pregame warmup, per coach Patrick Roy, before a decision is made on his status. Cizikas sat out Thursday's 4-0 loss to St. Louis after being injured Tuesday versus Pittsburgh. He has six goals, six assists and 97 hits in 44 games this season. Should Cizikas return to the lineup, Kyle MacLean could be a healthy scratch versus the Lightning.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Out Thursday

    Cizikas (hand) isn't available for Thursday's game in St. Louis. He'll be evaluated after the Islanders return to New York, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Cizikas was injured when he took a shot off his hand during Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Pittsburgh. After Thursday's contest, the Islanders will return home to host the Lightning on Saturday. In the meantime, Kyle MacLean, who was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, is projected to draw into the lineup with Cizikas unavailable.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Leaves Tuesday's game

    Cizikas blocked a shot with his hand in Tuesday's game versus the Penguins, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

    Cizikas went to the locker room a couple of times Tuesday, but the hand issue is of the most concern. It's unclear if he'll be able to play Thursday versus the Blues. With Hudson Fasching (illness) also questionable, the Islanders may need to call up a forward or play with seven defensemen.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Nets goal in return

    Cizikas scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

    Cizikas missed 10 games while dealing with a lower-body injury. He celebrated his return with a steal-and-score play for his first tally since Dec. 13. The fourth-line center is hardly a consistent scorer, but he's steady defensively as a fixture in the Islanders' lineup when healthy. For the season, he has 12 points, 45 shots on net, 70 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 40 appearances.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Activated Thursday

    Cizikas (lower body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Thursday.

    Cizikas will play on the fourth line with Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck, as the Islanders returned Kyle MacLean to AHL Bridgeport in a corresponding move. Cizikas missed 10 games with the injury. He has five goals, six assists, 69 hits and 42 blocked shots in 39 games this season.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Shifts to LTIR

    Cizikas (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Saturday, according to CapFriendly.

    In order to activate Ryan Pulock (lower body) from long-term injured reserve, the Islanders also moved Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) to LTIR on Saturday. It's unclear when Cizikas will be available to return to action, but he won't be in the lineup Monday versus the Maple Leafs. He has earned five goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 69 hits across 39 appearances this season.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: On injured reserve

    Cizikas (lower body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday retroactive to Jan. 9, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    The move being retroactive means Cizikas can be activated whenever he's healthy. However, he is listed as week-to-week, per Gross, 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.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Out week-to-week

    Cizikas will be out of action week-to-week after suffering a lower-body injury Tuesday against Vancouver, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Cizikas has five goals and 11 points with 69 hits and 42 blocked shots in 39 games this season. With Cizikas on the shelf, Hudson Fasching will draw back into the lineup Thursday against Toronto after missing the last three games as a healthy scratch.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Cizikas suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Canucks, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

    Cizikas was hurt in the first period and tried but failed to play through it in the second. He will likely be considered day-to-day going into Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs. If he can't play, Oliver Wahlstrom or Hudson Fasching could enter the lineup.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: 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.

    Cizikas snapped a nine-game point drought with the lone assist on Matt Martin's third-period marker. The 32-year-old Cizikas is a defensive stalwart for the Islanders, but he rarely plays above the fourth line. He's at 11 points, 43 shots on net, 69 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 38 appearances, so his fantasy value is limited to deep formats.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Good to go

    Cizikas (illness) will play Sunday against the Penguins, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Cizikas is slated to play on the fourth line after missing one game due to an illness. He has supplied five goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 55 hits over 34 games this season. Cizikas will replace Pierre Engvall in the lineup.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Game-time decision

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

    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.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Not playing Friday

    Cizikas (illness) will not be available Friday against Washington, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

    Cizikas was considered a game-time call against the Capitals but will ultimately miss his first game of the year. The 32-year-old has tallied five goals and 10 points through 34 games but has been held without a point over his last six appearances. Matt Martin is expected to replace Cizikas in the lineup Friday.
