Lizotte has been out since January 8th but went to Ontario (AHL) over the bye week and is set to play on Wednesday. The rookie centre has scored four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 45 games this season.

Lizotte stayed back in Los Angeles during the start fo the Kings road-trip and head coach Todd McLellan told reporters that he will remain at home for the duration of the trip. Jaret Anderson-Dolan is expected to remain with the Kings while Lizotte is out.

Lizotte was forced to leave Wednesday's game vs. Dallas early in the first period and did not return. The 22-year-old's absence allowed Michael Amadio to move up to the third line and Matt Luff will draw in on the fourth line in Vegas.
