Sergachev notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Traded from the Lightning to Utah at the draft, Sergachev is poised to be the new franchise's leader on the blue line. The 26-year-old defenseman saw a team-high 23:52 of ice time Tuesday, and he was able to contribute an assist when Barrett Hayton tipped in his shot. Sergachev was limited to 19 points, 70 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 34 games in 2023-24, but his struggles can be attributed to missing 48 of the last 49 regular-season contests due to two separate lower-body injuries. When healthy, Sergachev has flashed 60-point potential and also contributed plenty of hits and blocked shots.
