2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lizotte is potentially the player that will be most negatively impacted by the arrival of Pierre-Luc Dubois from Winnipeg. In 2022-23, Lizotte enjoyed most of his playing time as a third-line center and penalty-kill specialist, racking up 34 points, including a pair of shorthanded assists, in 81 games. He also tallied 96 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-11 rating to supplement his scoring. Going into 2023-24, Lizotte could either move to the wing to maintain his middle-six job, or he could line up as a fourth-line center, which would likely sap what little fantasy value he has. The 25-year-old is good enough to stick in the lineup, but he almost certainly won't be much of a fantasy asset this season. Managers should probably look elsewhere on draft day. Read Past Outlooks

Nets lone goal in loss
LWLos Angeles Kings
April 15, 2024
Lizotte scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
ANALYSIS
Lizotte scored for the first time since March 25 -- he had just two assists over the nine games in between goals. The 26-year-old forward is up to 15 points, 75 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season. He remains in a bottom-six role, providing a bit of grit and defensive value with limited offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for LTIR
LWLos Angeles Kings
February 5, 2024
Lizotte could end up on long-term injured reserve due to his lower-body injury, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Lizotte has already been shelved for eight games, so placing him on LTIR wouldn't have a significant impact on when he would be eligible to be activated. The 26-year-old center is currently mired in an 11-game drought during which he managed just 16 shots on goal and averaged a mere 9:53 of ice time per contest. Even once cleared to play, Lizotte figures to find himself relegated to a bottom-six role given his limited offensive contributions.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
Lizotte played well for the Kings in 2021-22, posting ten goals and 24 points in 70 games while filling a bottom-six role for the club. He received just eight seconds worth of power-play time per game and managed just 74 hits, so there's no reason to get excited here from a fantasy perspective. Still just 24 years of age and signed for two more seasons at an extremely reasonable $1.675 cap hit, Lizotte will again help Los Angeles win hockey games in 2022-23, even if he won't be doing much for your fantasy squad.
Lizotte saw his first extended action in the NHL last season after appearing in only one game in 2018-19, scoring a modest six goals and 23 points in 65 games. He has exactly the tools you'd expect from an undrafted college free agent listed at 5-foot-7 and 172 pounds -- speedy, feisty, possesses an outstanding motor and work ethic -- and while Martin St. Louis may have made it to the Hall of Fame with that kind of profile, Lizotte is still a long way from even earning a top-six role on a rebuilding Kings roster. The 23-year-old does have a good array of offensive skills, although he might be a better facilitator than a finisher, but before he gets a chance to show what he can do on the attack, he'll need to prove he can physically handle the rigors of the pro game.
