Durzi logged two assists, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Durzi missed six of the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but he was able to log 22:23 of ice time Thursday. Prior to missing five contests in a row, he was limited to one assist over nine outings -- it's possible he was hampered by the issue during the slump. The blueliner has five goals, 10 helpers, 48 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 26 appearances this season, and he should be a fixture in the Coyotes' top four going forward.

Durzi (lower body) will remain out for Tuesday's clash with the Senators, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durzi will be out of the lineup for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. With just one point in his last nine outings, the blueliner's eventual return to action may not have a significant impact on fantasy players. Still, once cleared to play, Durzi should be in contention to reclaim a top-four role with power-play time.
