Durzi missed Monday's practice with an illness, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Todd McClellan noted that it wasn't a serious issue and that it was essentially a maintenance day for Durzi. Expect the 23-year-old to be back on the ice for Tuesday's practice.

Durzi was promoted from AHL Ontario on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi has been logging big minutes in the Kings' last five contests (21:14 per game), so his return to the NHL level was always expected. The 23-year-old blueliner should continue to maintain a heavy workload moving forward, especially with Alexander Edler (lower body) and Sean Walker (knee) both dealing with significant injuries.

Durzi was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Monday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Kings off until Thursday's matchup with the Golden Knights, and the Reign suiting up Wednesday, the Kings sent Durzi along with Christian Wolanin and Jacob Moverare to the minors. All three players should be in the mix to be called back up before the team's meeting with Vegas.

Durzi recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi helped out on a Trevor Moore goal late in the third period. The 23-year-old Durzi has racked up a goal and four assists through five contests. He's fending off Olli Maatta for playing time, and Kale Clague was claimed on waivers by the Canadiens. With Durzi locked in as a third-pairing option with power-play usage, he could be helpful in deeper fantasy formats.

Durzi posted an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi helped out on an Alex Iafallo goal in the third period that brought the Kings within a goal. The 23-year-old Durzi now has four points (one goal, three assists) in three games since he got into the lineup. If he can keep producing, he'll keep the likes of Olli Maatta and Kale Clague in the press box as healthy scratches. With Durzi seeing power-play time, he's worth a look as defensive depth in deeper fantasy formats.

Durzi scored a goal and dished an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi set up Viktor Arvidsson in the second period, and the winger returned the favor in the third period. It was a dream debut for Durzi, who was drafted 52nd overall in 2018 by the Maple Leafs before he was traded in the Jake Muzzin deal in January of 2019. While with the big club, the 23-year-old Durzi is unlikely to play more than a bottom-pairing role. With Drew Doughty (knee) nearing a return, Durzi could soon be sent packing back to AHL Ontario.

Durzi will be called up from AHL Ontario on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi could be in contention for most transactions between the AHL and NHL this season with the Kings opting to continue utilizing him as an emergency depth option while ensuring he still sees plenty of game action in the minors. Don't be surprised to see Durzi once again shifted to AHL Ontario following Wednesday's matchup with Toronto.

Durzi was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Monday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi has yet to get into a game for the Kings this year, instead serving as an emergency depth option. Fantasy players should expect the blueliner to frequently move between levels while playing the bulk of his games in the minors. As such, Durzi figures to remain a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Durzi was recalled from AHL Ontario on Friday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Still looking for his first taste of NHL action, the 23-year-old has been fantastic with the Reign this season, posting 13 points in 12 games. It's unclear if the Kings plan to roll Durzi out Saturday against Carolina, Sunday against Arizona or not at all during this stint, but his recent strong AHL play suggests the blueliner could make his top-level debut sooner rather than later.

Durzi was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Thursday, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi will likely continue to bounce between levels down the stretch. He has yet to make his NHL debut.
