On the ice, Lizotte found success on success in high school when he appeared in the coveted Minnesota State High School Tournament with Chisago Lakes High School twice, totaling 67 points (19-48=67) in 50 games.
Following his high school career, Lizotte took the juniors route. First, with the Minot Minotauros of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) where the center put up 52 points (14-38=52) in 56 games, leading the team in points. After one year with Minot, Lizotte took another step up the hockey ladder and joined the Fargo Force in the United States Hockey League (USHL). In two years with Fargo, Lizotte tallied 111 points (31-80=111) in 110 games, which also lead the team in points during that span.
Lizotte went on to play his collegiate hockey at St. Could State University for two years, recording 69 points (22-47=69) in 76 games. During his time there, SCSU was never ranked outside the top-5. As a sophomore, Lizotte was named to the NCHC First-Team.
After an impressive two years at SCSU, the undrafted and "undersized" center made his dream come true when he signed an entry-level contract with the LA Kings on April 2, 2019. Four days later, Lizotte debuted for the Kings in the last game of the season on April 6, 2019 in a 5-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Then on November 9, 2019, Lizotte scored his first career NHL goal against the Montreal Canadians in unique fashion.
