Sean Durzi Battling Physical Issues Amid Roster Shakeup

Sean Durzi took his third maintenance day since Oct. 21 as head coach Mike Sullivan revealed the defenseman is "battling through some stuff physically." Despite playing in all 14 games this season, Durzi was recently split up from long-time defense partner Marcus Pettersson and reassigned alongside 18-year-old rookie Alberts Smits. The coaching staff is contemplating permanent changes to their defensive pairings prior to Sunday's game against Edmonton.
