EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
