Spurgeon (hip) is not playing Saturday in the preseason opener versus the Jets, but he is skating with the non-game group.

EDGE Analysis

Spurgeon underwent hip surgery in February and back surgery in March. Despite the significant procedures, he is active for training camp as initially expected. The 34-year-old is set to play in a top-four role in 2024-25, but he has missed significant time in three of the last five seasons, so fantasy managers will have to acknowledge some risk if they're interested in the defenseman.
