Simashev was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday.
MacKenzie Weegar is ready for his Utah debut, and Mikhail Sergachev is also set to return from a lower-body injury. That means there's no room for Simashev in the lineup, so he'll head to Tucson to resume getting regular playing time with the Roadrunners.

Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Simashev was summoned from AHL Tucson on Thursday.
Simashev was selected sixth overall by the franchise in 2023 and the 21-year-old has played 24 games this season at the NHL level, picking up one assist and 26 blocked shots. He has been more successful for Tucson this season, potting eight goals and 20 assists in 30 appearances. The Mammoth acquired MacKenzie Weegar from Calgary on Wednesday, but it will take time to process his visa. The Mammoth currently have six defensemen on the roster, as Olli Maatta was dealt to the Flames in the Weegar deal, necessitating the recall of Simashev.

Rotowire
Simashev was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.
Simashev has logged 24 games in the NHL this year, recording one assist, eight hits and 23 shots while averaging 15:28 of ice time. If the 21-year-old blueliner sees additional time with the Mammoth this season, he may not play enough to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Simashev was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.
Simashev's promotion would seem to indicate that Sean Durzi (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, forward Cameron Hebig was sent down to the minors. In 24 NHL games this year, Simashev has yet to score a goal while generating just one assist. As much, fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect him to suddenly start producing offensively if he gets into the lineup.

Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Notches three helpers
Rotowire
Simashev logged three assists in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime win over Iowa on Saturday.
Simashev has maintained a point-per-game pace since he went down to the AHL, and this was his second three-assist effort. He has four goals and 10 helpers over 14 outings, while adding a plus-4 rating and 34 shots on net. Simashev has a promising future, but a little developmental time at Tucson is working wonders for the blueliner's production and confidence.

Hockey Club's Dmitry Simashev: Set to join NHL club in 2024-25
Rotowire
Simashev is expected to sign with Utah when the KHL season ends and could debut with the club in April, per RG Media.
Simashev would need to sign an entry-level deal with Utah when his campaign with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv ends and would burn a year of that contract by joining up with Utah right away. Selected by the club with the sixth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Simashev isn't exactly known for his offensive upside, having tallied just six points in 47 games in the KHL this year.
