Rotowire
Durzi (undisclosed) had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Florida.
He left Monday's game early because of a big hit, but he looked none the worse for wear Tuesday. Durzi has a pair of two-point games (one goal, three assists) in his last three outings. Overall, the defender has four goals, 13 assists, 56 blocks and 56 shots in 32 games this season.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Slated to play
Rotowire
Durzi (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Tuesday.
Durzi left Monday's game versus the Lightning late in the third period after taking a hit along the boards. However, it appears he's no worse for wear, though the Mammoth did call up Dmitri Simashev for extra defensive depth prior to Monday's contest. Durzi should fill a top-four role in Tuesday's game.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Exits game in final minutes
Rotowire
Durzi (undisclosed) departed Monday's 2-0 loss in Tampa Bay late in the third period, and there was no update on his status postgame.
Durzi went to the locker room after taking a hit into the boards in the final minutes of the third period, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports. Since head coach Andre Tourigny didn't have any information to relay about Durzi's status, the right-shot blueliner should be considered questionable for the second half of the Mammoth's back-to-back against the Panthers on Tuesday.

Durzi pocketed two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over Nashville.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Durzi scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Durzi has been steadier lately with a point in 10 of his last 12 outings, racking up three goals and seven assists in that span. He's in a position to succeed with a top-four role and a spot on the second power-play unit, and he won't hurt fantasy managers in the non-scoring areas. Durzi is now at three goals, 13 points, 44 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 24 PIM, 14 hits and a minus-10 rating through 24 appearances this season.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Pots OT winner Monday
Rotowire
Durzi scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Rangers.
The 27-year-old blueliner got his stick on a Nick Schmaltz shot-pass a little over a minute into the extra frame to re-direct the puck past Jonathan Quick. Durzi has gotten onto the scoresheet in nine of the last 10 games but has no multi-point performances during that time, collecting two goals and seven assists with 21 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Durzi scored a goal, took two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Durzi has cracked the scoresheet in two of the Mammoth's last three games, as he also delivered an assist in the 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Wednesday. Despite the strong play of late, he's not a defenseman who tends to get involved much on offense, so his fantasy upside remains fairly low across all formats.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: First point since return
Rotowire
Durzi logged an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.
The helper was Durzi's first point in five games since he recovered from an upper-body injury that cost him six weeks. The 27-year-old blueliner has two helpers, 10 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating over seven appearances this season. While his numbers aren't all that great, Durzi is still seeing top-four usage and time on the second power-play unit.

Rotowire
Durzi (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per CapWages.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Set to miss four weeks
Rotowire
Durzi (upper body) is expected to miss about four weeks, the team announced Monday.

Utah has dressed seven defenders in two straight games to begin the 2025-26 campaign, but Barrett Hayton (undisclosed) might be ready to return to the lineup in Monday's matchup against Chicago.

The 26-year-old defenseman is up to nine points, 29 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 24 appearances.

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Nets first goal of campaign
Rotowire
Durzi scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Durzi restored a two-goal advantage for Utah just under two minutes after Frederick Gaudreau got the Wild on the board. The goal was Durzi's first of the campaign, and it's his second point over four contests since he returned from a shoulder injury. While listed on Utah's third defense pairing, he's often seen top-four minutes at the expense of Michael Kesselring. Durzi is up to four points, 13 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-4 rating over eight outings in 2024-25.

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Earns helper in return
Rotowire
Durzi logged an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Durzi missed over four months due to shoulder surgery. The 26-year-old blueliner saw 21:37 of ice time in his return to action, and he helped out on Barrett Hayton's third goal of the contest. Durzi has three helpers, seven shots on net, 15 blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating through five appearances this season. He could eventually be a candidate for power-play time, but it doesn't appear he'll be in the mix for that role right off the bat following his lengthy absence. He can still add a scoring touch and a physical edge, so Durzi is a player to watch in deeper formats.

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Will return Saturday
Rotowire
Durzi (shoulder) will be activated from injured reserve prior to Saturday's game versus the Kings, Brogan Houston of Deseret News reports.
Durzi hasn't played since Oct. 14 against the Devils, which was Utah's fourth game of the season. Durzi could be a candidate for power-play time, but it's likely his minutes will be limited at first after a lengthy recovery due to surgery. The 26-year-old blueliner could eventually handle top-four minutes.

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

Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Might return in April
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
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
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.
