RALEIGH, N.C. — Blake Lizotte will miss the last four weeks of the Pittsburgh Penguins season after suffering an upper-body injury Saturday against the Utah Mammoth.
The team simply tweeted that he will be re-evaluated in four weeks but did not specify the nature of the injury. However, Lizotte appeared to injure his arm or wrist in the game against Utah and skated slowly off the ice, favoring his right arm.

The center had a cast on his right arm at the Penguins' morning skate at Ball Arena Monday before the Penguins faced the Colorado Avalanche.
The Penguins have 15 games remaining over the next four weeks, and their regular season ends on April 14 in St. Louis. The team currently has a four-point lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the first team outside the playoff seeds, but Columbus has one game in hand. Monday, Connor Dewar centered the fourth line with Elmer Soderblom on the left wing and Noel Acciari on the right in the Penguins' 7-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
