Islanders’ Casey Cizikas returns to lineup in style

Perhaps the only mistake Casey Cizikas made in his return to the lineup resulted in him scoring.

Oh yeah, he said, laughing, after the Islanders put away the Lightning 6-2 on Thursday night at UBS Arena in perhaps their best win all season. No, I fanned on that.

Whether it was in the exact way he meant to or not, Cizikas ended up putting the puck in the net to put an exclamation mark on his return and the night, with the Islanders sixth goal at the 15:22 mark of the second.

After Cizikas was activated off long-term injured reserve Thursday morning, the win over Tampa marked the first time since Nov. 24 that the Islanders played without anyone who otherwise would have been in the lineup due to injury.

And Cizikas, driving the engine on the fourth line as usual, quickly made the Islanders remember what theyd missed without him.

He brings so much depth, energy to our lineup, coach Patrick Roy said. Hes, for some reason, these three are clicking so well. Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck are clicking so well. Even at one shift they were playing against Nikita Kucherov and I was very comfortable. Hes playing PK, he scored a nice goal. I was very impressed with him.

Suddenly resurgent Islanders dominate Lightning: ‘The will was phenomenal’

Cizikas, who suffered a lower-body injury blocking Filip Hroneks shot on Jan. 9, had missed the past 10 games with Kyle MacLean filling in.

But after scoring his first NHL goal in Toronto on Monday night, MacLean was sent down to AHL Bridgeport on Thursday to keep the Islanders cap compliant.

Thursday was the first game Cizikas played under Roy. It couldnt have gone better.

Its huge. Its never fun being out, its never fun skating by yourself, Cizikas said. But watching the way the guys competed in practice, watching the way they competed in games it pushes you to get back, it pushes you to be harder. Get yourself in shape when it is your turn to get back on the ice, youre ready to go. Today, it was a great night for the guys.

MacLean earned some praise from Roy after his six-game stint centering the fourth line in Cizikas absence.

I guess theres no better feeling than leaving with a goal in your back pocket. For any player, it brings a lot of confidence in your game. Im sure hes going to Bridgeport with a lot of good things on his mind.
