Overview
- Durzi was hurt on an overtime hit Saturday against the Predators and appeared to favor his right shoulder as he left the ice.
- The team set a roughly four-week timeline, with media projections pointing to a possible return on Nov. 8 or Nov. 12 depending on schedule assumptions.
- His absence trims Utah’s right-shot options and limits point offense behind Mikhail Sergachev, though the club still carries eight active defensemen.
- The 26-year-old logged Utah’s first two games, averaging 18:56 of ice time and recording a secondary assist on Jack McBain’s goal.
- Last season he missed 52 games following shoulder surgery and was limited to 30 appearances after a 41-point campaign the year prior in Arizona.
