Penguins Keep Finding Value In Blake Lizotte

Blake Lizotte has apparently done the one thing NHL coaches love and general managers pretend is easy - made himself useful in every direction. For Pittsburgh, that matters because role players who can win minutes without dragging the bench into a panic are currency, especially when the lineup starts getting squeezed. Lizotte’s value is not the flashy kind that fills highlight reels, but it is the kind that keeps teams from bleeding goals at the worst possible times.
