Rangers' Sean Durzi: Slated to miss Thursday's game
Rotowire
Durzi (undisclosed) is expected to miss Thursday's home clash against the Flyers, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.
Head coach Mike Sullivan stated that Durzi might not travel with the team during the start of the Rangers' upcoming four-game road trip, but could join them at some point. Given that statement, it appears that returning Thursday is out of the question, meaning Durzi will likely miss his third consecutive game. The 28-year-old blueliner has posted five points, 12 shots on net, nine hits and 21 blocked shots over 14 outings when healthy this season. His status will be monitored closely over the next week, as Sullivan added that he could join the team at a certain point in the upcoming four-game trip out west if he doesn't make the initial flight.

Rangers' Sean Durzi: First Blueshirt goal a game-winner
Rotowire
Durzi scored a power-play goal while adding two shots on net and one blocked shot in Friday's 2-0 victory over the Red Wings.
The 27-year-old blueliner blasted a one-timer from the high slot past John Gibson early in the first period, and it turned out to be the game-winner. Durzi also added seven PIM after getting into a second-period scrap with Marco Kasper. Durzi is comfortably filling a spot in the Rangers' top four while handling second-unit power-play duties behind Adam Fox.
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.

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.
