Mikhail Sergachev News

Utah surprised the hockey world on Saturday morning as it acquired highly coveted defenseman Mikhail Sergachev from Tampa Bay for JJ Moser, Conor Geekie, a 2024 2nd Round Pick and a 2024 7th Round Pick. The 26-year-old defenseman will join his third NHL team in his eight-year career and had two goals and 19 points in 34 games in 2023-24. He is one season removed from a 10-goal, 64-point campaign in 2022-23.

Sergachev has been out since February 7th due to a lower-body injury and has unfortunately been ruled out for the remainder of the first round. The 25-year-old appeared in only 34 games this season and had two goals, 19 points, 53 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -16 plus/minus.

Sergachev was initially ruled out for all of Round 1, but participating in full on Saturday suggests that he's getting close to returning to the Lightning lineup. At this point, consider him questionable to play in Game 1 on Sunday.

Sergachev left Tampa Bay's game Wednesday vs. New York after a glaringly bad lower-body injury in his first game back from injury since December 19th and will now be out indefinitely after undergoing successful tibia and fibula surgery in his left leg. The 25-year-old will return to Tampa Bay to begin his rehab next week and possibly ends his 2023-24 season with only 19 points (2G/17A) in 34 games played.

Sergachev was taken off the ice on a stretcher after following awkwardly on his lower leg in the second period of Wednesday's game against the Rangers. We should receive an update on the injury and a potential timeline for his return in the coming days.

Sergachev exited Tuesday's 6-1 win over the St. Louis Blues in the first period after playing only 4:31 time-on-ice with a lower-body injury. He was seen at the practice facility working on his stick handling but did not participate in on-ice drills as he avoided putting weight on his left foot. That said, the worst seems to have been avoided and he will only miss 1-2 games. Sergachev has taken a decreased role this year after a career-best 2022-23 campaign where he scored 64 points (10G / 54A) in 79 games, but still has 19 points (2G / 17A) and ranks second amongst all players, averaging 22:59 time-on-ice through 33 games this season.
