Durzi (upper body) has been designated for injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Durzi's IR placement shouldn't come as a surprise considering he is out indefinitely due to his upper-body injury. With John Marino (upper body) also sidelined and Robert Bortuzzo (undisclosed) getting hurt against the Ducks on Wednesday, the Utah blue line is getting rather thin. Michael Kesselring and Juuso Valimaki will likely be tasked with picking up significant minutes for the time being.
