Blake Lizotte Suspended One Game

March 26, 2023 at 2:25 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 4 Comments

2:25 PM: The NHL Department of Player Safety has suspended Lizotte one game for his infraction. As was expected, the suspension mirrors the punishment received by Greer for his cross-check on Hoffman, and the punishment means Lizotte will be unavailable to coach Todd McLellan for the Kings’ game tonight against the St. Louis Blues.

10:00 AM: During last night’s win against the Winnipeg Jets, Los Angeles Kings forward, Blake Lizotte, was given a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for cross-checking Jets’ defenseman Josh Morrissey. The two had been battling across the ice, and Morrissey would leave the ice after the incident, requiring 10 stitches on his face, with another eight on the inside of his mouth.

This morning, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced that Lizotte will indeed have a hearing for the incident from Saturday night. The event from Saturday night’s game was very similar to the cross-check delivered to Mike Hoffman of the Montreal Canadiens by Boston Bruins’ forward A.J. Greer. It is worth noting that Greer was handed a one-game suspension for his cross-check.

Lizotte, now in his fifth year in the NHL, has not been suspended once throughout his career. Through 70 games during the 2021-22 season, Lizotte accrued a total of 28 PIM, while this year, in 72 games played, already has 54 PIM. Aside from earning more time within the penalty box, Lizotte has become a key depth forward for Los Angeles, scoring 10 goals, and 20 assists for 30 points, a new career high.

    Should be suspended for, let’s see, 10 games left divide that by 46 Lizotte’s number multiply by his points per game then multiply by ten games left should get him 1 game off… I am sure that’s how the player’s safety dept does it..

    This is a joke, second one in the last seven days.

    He drove his stick into Morrisey’s face…
    Only 13 Stitches…guess that is good for a game…
    Should have a minimum of 5 games….
    The stick is a weapon and he used it like one…
    Hoffman from the Habs had the same thing happen, and the guy got a game.
    What is the scars, stitches, and possible dental work and concussions worth.

    Lizotte’s penalty is they lose a player for about 13-14 minutes the next game, and anyone from the far team can replace him for a night, or a week.
    When you try to take out the other teams best players,

    So you want to beat the oilers, just cross check McDavid to the head and face….and make sure it is a forth liner who does it.

    Then take out Draisatl and use another link head to do this

    Wow, is the NHL really serious about the penalties…1game for assault with a weapon.
    The NHL really screwed up and should be called out for this this.

    Kids are watching and now will think that it is ok to intentionally hurt someone.

      If your kids are learning how to behave by watching professional sports, then you are parenting wrong.

      They are athletes, they are not your kid’s father.

    Blake Lizotte – Part-time dentist, full-time cross-checker. Suspension reduced because he gives a “Family & Friends” discount to his victims/customers.
