Durzi was recalled from AHL Ontario to the taxi squad Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old has posted three points and 10 PIM over 10 AHL games this year. He'll be able to practice and travel with the team while on the taxi squad.

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

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are dealing with several injuries on the back end, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Durzi back with the taxi squad soon. The 2018 second-round pick has yet to make his NHL debut.

Durzi was recalled from AHL Ontario to the taxi squad Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings need depth on the blue line after Sean Walker (face) and Matt Roy (upper body) suffered injuries that require lengthy recoveries. Durzi will add depth for now. The 22-year-old suited up in 39 AHL games last season and posted 14 points, so he likely won't draw into the lineup unless injuries surface.

Durzi agreed to sign a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi was a second-round pick in 2018, and was part of the trade to the Kings in exchange for Jake Muzzin on Jan. 28. The 20-year-old appeared in 180 OHL games in his career, collecting 140 points. Durzi will likely finish the season with AHL Manchester, and could still be a year or two away from NHL action.

Durzi scored twice in OHL Guelph's 7-3 victory over London on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Originally a second-round selection of Toronto in 2018, Durzi was shipped to the Kings in January in the deal that sent Jake Muzzin to the Leafs. An offensive-minded defender, Durzi is averaging more than a point per game (11 goals, 37 points in 34 contests) for a second consecutive OHL campaign. Durzi will begin his transition to the professional ranks this coming fall.

Durzi was traded to Los Angeles with Carl Grundstrom and a 2019 first-round pick in exchange for Jake Muzzin.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi was a second-round pick in the 2018 NHL draft and is still suiting up at the OHL level. The 187-pound blueliner was a minor part of this deal and is still a few years away from NHL action.

Durzi was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi -- who was selected by the Maple Leafs in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft -- will link up with the Marlies for the minor-league club's training camp. The organization could still decide to sent the blueliner back to juniors this season, but clearly want to get a longer look at him before making that decision.

Durzi was drafted 52nd overall by the Maple Leafs at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Durzi is another in the long list of players that have been or will be selected this year after being passed over in the 2017 draft. After posting two goals in 60 games in his draft season (that's one of the reasons he wasn't selected), Durzi responded with 15 goals in just 40 games for OHL Owen Sound in the recently completed campaign. While Durzi's offensive skills are legitimate, he is allergic to physical contact and offers nothing defensively. That's an issue when the position that you play is, wait for it...... defense! Odds are Durzi is nothing more than a good junior player, but the Leafs hope they will be able to clean up his defensive game a bit with better coaching at the professional level.
