• Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Making progress, but not ready

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Durzi (shoulder) is traveling with Utah HC for the sake of participating in the team's practices, but he'll still miss Saturday and Sunday's games in Carolina and Washington, respectively, according to Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune. After those two clashes, Utah will be on break for the 4 Nations Face-Off and return Feb. 22 versus the Kings. Durzi, who hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 14, will likely serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy.

• Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Out through 4 Nations

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Durzi (shoulder) will practice with the team but isn't expected back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports. Durzi's latest update seems to be slightly more positive than his previous one which indicated he might not be back until April. The blueliner has been out of action since mid-October, appearing in just four games this season before he sustained his shoulder injury. At this point, Durzi will be hard-pressed to reach the 25-point threshold, which would be the first time he's missed that mark in his NHL career.

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  "There's a good chance" Durzi (shoulder) will be able to return in April, coach Andre Tourigny told Cole Bagley of KSL Sports on Wednesday. Durzi has two assists, seven PIM, two hits and 13 blocks in four appearances with Utah in 2024-25. He hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 14. Durzi will likely serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy, though rust might be a factor after missing the vast majority of the campaign.

• Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Undergoes shoulder surgery

  10/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Durzi will be out 4-6 months after surgery to repair his injured right shoulder, Utah announced Wednesday. Durzi's timeline matches what was previously reported when he was put on injured reserve, but this update provides more clarity on the exact nature of his injury. While it would be on the early end of his recovery timeline, four months could see the blueliner returning following the NHL break for the Four Nations Face-Off in February. Given how long Durzi will be out, he could be a candidate for long-term injured reserve if Utah needs the cap space.

• Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Will be out long-term

  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Durzi (upper body) is expected to require surgery to address his injury, which will keep him out of action for 4-5 months, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports. Durzi will likely be sidelined until after the 4 Nations Face-Off in mid-February. This is a massive blow to Utah's blue line, especially since John Marino (upper body) is also absent on a week-to-week basis. Michael Kesselring took over Durzi's top-pairing role Wednesday versus the Ducks, while Juuso Valimaki is poised for more power-play time.
