Sergachev scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Sergachev logged 25:57 in his return from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old had gone 13 games without a goal prior to his five-game absence, but he was able to find the twine in the first period of his return. The blueliner is up to nine goals, 31 points (13 on the power play), 75 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 45 appearances. He's safe to activate in fantasy and should see a large role with significant time in all situations.

EDGE Analysis

Sergachev will return from a five-game absence to play on the top pairing and first power-play unit.

Juuso Valimaki will be scratched to make way for Sergachev's return.

EDGE Analysis

Sergachev has been out of action for Utah's last five outings but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. While the blueliner is stuck in a 13-game goal drought, he has picked up seven helpers over that stretch while averaging 26:01 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Sergachev should retake his spot on the top pairing in addition to a No. 1 power-play role.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the team is heading into a back-to-back, the 26-year-old defenseman probably shouldn't be expected to suit up versus the Jets on Friday either. Once Sergachev does return to action, he figures to jump back into his role running the No. 1 power-play unit for Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Sergachev has gone a little quiet lately with just three assists and a minus-13 rating over his last seven outings.

For the season, he has 29 points (12 on the power play), 66 shots on net, 75 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 40 appearances.
