Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n
Blake Lizotte<\/a> (undisclosed) has been activated from injured reserve and will be a game-time decision against the Blackhawks on Sunday (7 p.m. ET; CHSN, SN-PIT, SNP, SNW, SNE, TVAS). The forward, who has missed nine games, was a full participant at practice Saturday, skating as fourth-line center with left wing Connor Dewar<\/a> and right wing Noel Acciari<\/a>, for the first time since being injured Dec. 7. “To be honest, it’s a mystery for me too; I just started hurting,” Lizotte said. “I’m not really sure if it was a certain hit. There wasn’t a moment where I was like, ‘Oh, something happened.’ It just got more and more sore.” \u2026 Evgeni Malkin<\/a> (upper body) skated on his own Saturday but will miss his 11th straight game Sunday. The 39-year-old center, who has 29 points (eight goals, 21 assists) in 26 games, is week to week since being injured on Dec. 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Penguins Blake Lizotte (undisclosed) has been activated from injured reserve and will be a game-time decision against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-374718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nhl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
