Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Sean 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
Sean 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.

Michael Kesselring and Juuso Valimaki will likely be tasked with picking up significant minutes for the time being.

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Ruled out indefinitely
Sean Durzi (upper body) is expected to be sidelined indefinitely according to general manager Bill Armstrong on Tuesday, per Scott Garrard of KSL Sports Zone.Durzi's absence will compound an already thin blue line that is still missing John Marino (upper body). Through the first four games of the season, Durzi was averaging the second most ice time (21:28) behind only Mikhail Sergachev. Without Durzi in the lineup, Michael Kesselring and Juuso Valimaki figure to see significant upticks in ice time. Don't be surprised to see Durzi designated for long-term injured reserve in the next few days.

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Notches assist in win
Sean Durzi logged an assist, three blocked shots and five PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.Durzi fought Connor Murphy in the second period and then added a helper on Dylan Guenther's empty-netter in the third. The presence of Mikhail Sergachev, acquired from the Lightning over the offseason, will likely decrease Durzi's power-play role in 2024-25. He will still play top-four minutes at even strength, so his offense shouldn't take too much of a hit. The 25-year-old will also carry decent fantasy value in formats that reward blocked shots and PIM.

Durzi and Sergachev are in competition for power-play duties, and whoever lands on the first unit is likely to have the better fantasy value. With Arizona last season, Durzi put up a career-high 41 points, including 16 on the power play, but his offense could take a hit if he slips to the second unit.
