Durzi, Cole Beaudoin and a 2027 third-round pick were traded to the Rangers from the Mammoth on Wednesday in exchange for Vincent Trocheck, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Durzi made 60 regular-season appearances for Utah in 2025-26, recording five goals, 22 assists, 88 blocked shots, 50 PIM and 40 hits while averaging 19:16 of ice time. He should be in the mix for a role on the second or third pairing, but it's unclear if he will get any power-play time.

Rotowire
Durzi notched an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Durzi missed the last game of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, though it appears the Mammoth were just taking caution to prevent a larger issue. The 27-year-old is expected to be a regular in the lineup during the playoffs, though likely in a bottom-four role. Durzi had 27 points, 84 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 50 PIM and 40 hits over 60 regular-season appearances. He's in the playoffs for the third time in his career, having collected four points over 13 games across two previous postseason runs, both with the Kings.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Suiting up in Vegas
Rotowire
Durzi (upper body) is in the lineup for Game 1 versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, according to the NHL media site.
Durzi missed Utah's regular-season finale Thursday against the Blues after sustaining his upper-body injury Tuesday versus the Jets. Whether the right-shot blueliner is 100 percent healthy remains to be seen, but he will replace Nick DeSimone in the lineup and skate on the third pairing next to Ian Cole to start Utah's first postseason run.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Durzi (upper body) is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Jets.
Assuming Durzi doesn't get back into the lineup, he can be considered questionable for the regular-season finale versus the Blues on Thursday. The Mammoth may opt to be cautious with the 27-year-old blueliner, though they'll likely still be playing for seeding Thursday. If Durzi misses that game, Nick DeSimone or Dmitri Simashev will get into the lineup.

Durzi has five helpers over his last eight outings, but this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 27 versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old blueliner has mostly played in a bottom-four role lately, though he has seen some time on the second power-play unit as well. He's at 27 points, 74 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 50 PIM, 38 hits and a minus-11 rating over 56 appearances.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Nabs helper in loss
Rotowire
Durzi provided an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.
Durzi ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 27-year-old defenseman has four assists and a minus-6 rating over 13 appearances since the Olympic break. Durzi has seen his role reduced since the Mammoth traded for MacKenzie Weegar. Durzi is at 23 points, 67 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 34 hits, 44 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 49 appearances this season, so he can still provide some value in deeper formats.

Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Deposits opening goal
Rotowire
Durzi scored a goal, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Detroit.
Just under a minute into the contest, Durzi struck the back of the net for his second goal in five games. Overall, the 27-year-old blueliner has five goals, 19 points, 59 shots on net and 64 blocked shots across 36 games this season. The fifth-year defenseman has quietly been a strong option in fantasy over the last month and a half with 16 points, 40 shots on net, 11 hits and 38 blocked shots across his last 24 games. Once NHL action resumes following the Olympic break, Durzi is a solid streaming option in most fantasy formats for the foreseeable future.

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.

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.

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.

Rotowire
Durzi scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Rangers.

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.
