Returns to Penguins Lineup for Game 1 Following Injury Absence

Blake Lizotte made his return to the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Philadelphia Flyers. After recovering from an injury, Lizotte's activation forced Justin Brazeau out of the lineup. While the Penguins ultimately fell 3-2 in a sloppy performance at home, Lizotte's return provides the team with improved depth as they navigate the postseason. He was one of two key players to return from injury for the series opener.
