Cizikas has been dealing with a lower-body injury since the late stages of the preseason but it won’t keep him out of Friday’s season opener. Cizikas will fill a familiar fourth-line role with Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck on his wings.

Cizikas is dealing with a lower-body injury and head coach Barry Trotz said it’s too early to determine if he will be ready for the season opener. Trotz is hopeful he’ll have his fourth-line centre available, but it doesn’t sound like the injury is going to linger too deep into October.




Cizikas has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but appears ready-to-go in Boston on Thursday. With Cizikas back on the active roster, the Islanders have assigned Tanner Fritz to Bridgeport (AHL).

Cizikas has not played since November 15th and is two weeks into this original 2-3 week timetable. Returning to the ice on his own was the next step in his recovery. Look for him to join his teammates next week and could return to the lineup by next weekend.

Cizikas will miss 2-3 weeks with a lower-body injury, so he has been moved to IR to open up a roster spot to recall Stephen Gionta from Bridgeport (AHL).

Cizikas was questionable for Saturday’s game but his move to IR means the will be out against the Predators. Cizikas’ move to IR is retroactive to Monday, so it allowed them to sign Stephen Gionta without sending anyone down. He could end up missing jut one game.

Cizikas is day-to-day with a lower-body injury that he suffered during Monday’s game vs. the Sharks and missed Friday’s practice. If Cizikas can’t play, the Islanders may sign Stephen Gionta to a contract and have him draw into the lineup.

Cizikas will be replaced by Chris Wagner tonight and there are some “longer-term concerns” for Cizikas according to head coach Doug Weight. Cizikas is not expected to travel to Ottawa for Tuesday’s game.

Cizikas missed last night’s game for the birth of his child but he will play tonight in Pittsburgh. Cizikas will replace Sebastian Aho as the Islanders will go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen.


Cizikas is with his wife as they are expecting the birth of a child. Cizikas was reportedly at the hospital this morning, which suggests that he won’t be available for tonight’s game. If Cizikas can’t play, Ross Johnston will draw back into the lineup.

Cizikas has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in tonight vs. the Panthers. Cizikas will replace Ross Johnston and returns to the lineup with just 11 points (5G / 6A) in 40 games this season.

Cizikas has missed the last three games and with a three-game road trip upcoming, the Islanders move him to IR to add an extra body for the road trip.

Cizikas left Saturday’s game in New York with an upper-body injury after playing just 7:17 TOI. The ailment will keep him out for at least Monday’s game, so Tanner Fritz will draw back into the Islanders lineup.

Cizikas has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but he will replace Alan Quine in the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. The Islanders fourth line centre has scored four goals with four assists (eight points) in 23 games this season.

Cizikas is expected to miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, but the Islanders are hopeful that he will return to the lineup next week. With Cizikas out again, Anthony Beauvillier will likely remain in the lineup on Friday.

Islanders head coach Doug Weight said that he doesn’t think Cizikas’ injury is serious but it looks like he will miss some time and could be out for up to one week. With Cizikas out, Anthony Beauvillier figures to play on Tuesday.
