Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Out for foreseeable future
Bortuzzo (lower body) "will miss quite a bit of time," Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Thursday.
Coach Andre Tourigny said that Bortuzzo, who was injured Tuesday against the Wild, will not accompany the team on its two-game road trip and is out indefinitely. The 35-year-old veteran has only two assists in 15 contests this season. Dakota Mermis was recalled from AHL Tucson on Thursday to replace Bortuzzo on the roster.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Listed as day-to-day
Utah announced Thursday that Bortuzzo (lower body) is considered day-to-day.
Bortuzzo sustained his lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Wild, but his designation as day-to-day is somewhat encouraging since head coach Andre Tourigny said after the game that the injury "doesn't look good." Bortuzzo will be sidelined against Colorado on Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him also miss Saturday's matchup in San Jose.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Likely to miss time
Bortuzzo's lower-body injury is reportedly not good according to head coach Andre Tourigny, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
This likely means an absence is on the way for Bortuzzo, who joins an already extensive list of injured blueliners for the club. Vladislav Kolyachonok figures to get the first chance to replace him, but it's possible Utah calls up reinforcements or pursues a trade if Bortuzzo's recovery is going to last weeks or months.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Can't finish contest
Bortuzzo (lower body) will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Wild.
Utah can ill afford another injury on the blue line. Bortuzzo has played steadily this season due to a number of other injuries, and if he misses additional time, Vladislav Kolyachonok would likely be called on to fill in. Utah's next game is in Colorado on Thursday.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Puts up helper in win
Bortuzzo notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Bortuzzo has two helpers over his last five games. The 35-year-old blueliner didn't have steady playing time in November, but he's suited up in six straight contests to help cover the absence of Maveric Lamoureux (upper body). Bortuzzo is now at two helpers, six shots on net, 20 hits, 24 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 14 appearances in 2024-25. He is likely to remain in a third-pairing role.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Pockets assist Friday
Bortuzzo notched an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Bortuzzo suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday versus the Canadiens, but he was able to avoid missing any additional time. The 35-year-old could stick in the lineup for a while with Maveric Lamoureux (upper body) out for 4-6 weeks. The helper was Bortuzzo's first in 10 appearances this season, and he's added three shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 12 hits and 20 PIM as an enforcer in a bottom-four role on Utah's blue line.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Playing Friday
Bortuzzo (lower body) will be in the lineup versus Edmonton on Friday, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Exits with injury
Bortuzzo (lower body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens.
Bortuzzo was called for a kneeing penalty against Joshua Roy in the second period, but it appears the Utah defenseman got the worst of it. Bortuzzo can be considered day-to-day until further information is available. If he's not ready to play Friday versus the Oilers, Juuso Valimaki or Vladislav Kolyachonok could step into the lineup to replace Bortuzzo on the third pairing.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Filling part-time role
Bortuzzo has played in just eight of Utah's first 20 games of the season.
Bortuzzo has no points, 15 blocked shots, 16 PIM, nine hits, three shots on goal and a minus-4 rating. Utah has opted to give younger defensemen like Maveric Lamoureux and Vladislav Kolyachonok looks over Bortuzzo, who fills a third-pairing role when he plays. The 35-year-old Bortuzzo can play a physical game, but his playing time isn't steady enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Good to go
Bortuzzo (undisclosed) will play Saturday versus the Bruins.
Bortuzzo's status was unclear after he left Wednesday's game versus the Ducks, but the 35-year-old won't have to miss any additional time. He'll play on the third pairing Saturday and should continue to see ample ice time because Sean Durzi (upper body) and John Marino (upper body) are both months away from returning.

Hockey Club's Robert Bortuzzo: Status uncertain after exiting game
Bortuzzo left Wednesday's game versus the Ducks with an undisclosed injury, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Bortuzzo entered the lineup as a fill-in for Sean Durzi (upper body), who is out on an indefinite basis that could stretch for weeks. Bortuzzo saw 10:02 of ice time before he was hurt in the third period. If he can't play Saturday versus the Bruins, Patrik Koch would likely enter the lineup in a third-pairing role.

Bortuzzo didn't record a point in 27 regular-season appearances between the Islanders and Blues in 2023-24 while registering 11 shots on goal, 51 blocked shots and 38 hits.

Islanders' Robert Bortuzzo: Nabs assist in season-saving win
Bortuzzo delivered a primary assist during the second overtime Saturday, culminating in a 3-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 4.
Bortuzzo found an open lane from the point and stepped into a shot that deflected in off Mathew Barzal near the top of the crease for the winning goal. This was the first playoff point for Bortuzzo since 2019, when the right-shot defenseman won the Stanley Cup with the Blues. The Isles will be back on the road for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Islanders' Robert Bortuzzo: On injured reserve
Bortuzzo (lower body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.
Bortuzzo's placement is presumably retroactive to Tuesday, which would mean he'll be eligible to be activated in time for next Thursday's outing versus Toronto. He has no points, 19 PIM, 16 hits and 20 blocks in 15 contests this season. Sebastian Aho will likely play regularly during Bortuzzo's absence.

Islanders' Robert Bortuzzo: Leaves Tuesday's contest

Bortuzzo was hit by Samuel Girard in the second period and had trouble getting off the ice, favoring his right leg. Head coach Lane Lambert had no update on Bortuzzo after the contest. With Ryan Pulock (upper body) nearing a return, he may take Bortuzzo's place in the lineup against Arizona on Thursday.

Islanders' Robert Bortuzzo: Acquired by Islanders
Bortuzzo was acquired by the Islanders from St. Louis on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick.
Bortuzzo has no points, seven PIM, four hits and three blocks in four contests with the Blues in 2023-24. He was serving primarily as the team's seventh defenseman and was frequently a healthy scratch. The Islanders put Ryan Pulock (lower body) on injured reserve Friday, so perhaps Bortuzzo will get regular playing time with New York during Pulock's absence.

Blues' Robert Bortuzzo: Skates at first practice
Bortuzzo (upper body) skated at Thursday's first training camp practice, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Bortuzzo missed nine of the last 10 games of 2022-23, but it appears he's ready to go for this season. The 34-year-old blueliner figures to handle a third-pairing role on the occasions he's in the lineup -- he could also be a frequent healthy scratch.

Blues' Robert Bortuzzo: Not expected to return this season
Bortuzzo (upper body) is considered doubtful for St. Louis' last two games of the season, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
The Blues aren't going to make the playoffs, so Bortuzzo has almost certainly seen his last action in 2022-23. In the likely event that ends up being the case, he'll finish the campaign having picked up five points while averaging just 12:34 of ice time through 43 games.
