Casey Cizikas was activated off injured reserve and returned to the Islanders’ lineup on Thursday night against the Coyotes at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum after missing five games with a lower-body injury.
“I know it’s not fun having these four-day stretches,” Cizikas said of the Islanders’ break since Saturday night’s 3-2 overtime win at Columbus. “For me, personally, it couldn’t have come at a better time to get those extra days to rest and get to where I am now.”
