Alexander Kerfoot - NHL News & Rumors

Taking steps towards return Kerfoot (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact Kerfoot was seen participating in drills and even joined the team's defensemen during line skates. The 31-year-old forward has been out of Utah's lineup since he exited the team's Jan. 9 contest with an upper-body injury. His inclusion in the majority of Monday's morning skate is a sign that he is progressing towards a return, but no official timeline has been established by head coach Andre Tourigny. When Kerfoot is available, he'll likely return to being a rotational forward in Utah's bottom six.

Placed on injured reserve Kerfoot (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Kerfoot appeared in the Mammoth's last nine games, recording a goal, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and three hits while averaging 10:20 of ice time. However, he exited Friday's game against the Blues due to an upper-body injury and will be forced to miss at least a week after landing on injured reserve. Kevin Rooney was called up by Utah in a corresponding move to provide additional depth in Kerfoot's absence.

Exits Friday's contest Kerfoot (upper body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Blues.

Impact Kerfoot sustained the injury during the first period, and it'll keep him out of the rest of the contest. The 31-year-old forward can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Blue Jackets. If Kerfoot can't play, Kailer Yamamoto or Liam O'Brien would be candidates to enter the lineup.

Nets first goal of season Kerfoot scored a goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact This was Kerfoot's second game back from an abdominal injury that cost him the first 36 contests of the season. The 31-year-old has slotted back into a bottom-six role, though he'll likely move around the lineup as necessary as one of the Mammoth's most versatile forwards. His 28-point output from 81 outings last season constituted a down year, but he may still struggle to match that total considering all the time he's missed in 2025-26.

Back from injured reserve Kerfoot (abdomen) was activated from injured reserve Friday.

Impact Kerfoot is clear to be in the lineup versus the Devils on Friday. He'll likely take on a bottom-six role moving forward, though he may not be in the lineup every game.

Practices Tuesday Kerfoot (abdomen) took part in Tuesday's practice, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Impact Kerfoot didn't participate in contact drills during the session, and his return to the lineup doesn't appear to be imminent, but he is making progress. He hasn't played yet this season and underwent core muscle surgery in late October.

Undergoes core muscle surgery Kerfoot (lower body/abdomen) underwent a core muscle surgery Friday and will miss 8-10 weeks.

Impact Kerfoot was already recovering from a lower-body injury, and it's unclear if the surgery is related to that issue or a separate situation. In any case, the versatile forward is now expected to miss nearly all of the first half of the season, with a return in mid-December at the earliest. Once healthy, Kerfoot may struggle to get into the Mammoth's lineup regularly.

Shifts to IR Kerfoot (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Kerfoot missed training camp due to the injury, and he will begin the 2025-26 campaign on the shelf. It remains unclear how long he will be out of commission, but he has been week-to-week since the start of camp. Kerfoot had 11 goals, 28 points, 101 shots on net and 67 blocked shots across 81 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Week-to-week with lower-body injury The Mammoth announced Friday that Kerfoot is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Kerfoot has missed just one regular-season game across the past four years, but he's dealing with an injury during training camp that could threaten his availability for Opening Night against the Avalanche on Oct. 9. Across 81 regular-season appearances with Utah last year, he logged 11 goals, 17 assists, 67 blocked shots and 59 hits while averaging 15:15 of ice time. He'll likely continue to occupy a bottom-six role when healthy this season.

Picks three apples Monday Kerfoot provided three assists and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Kerfoot began his outing with a helper on each of Utah's first two goals. He picked up a secondary helper on Michael Kesselring's goal before delivering the primary pass on Nick Bjugstad's tally minutes later. Kerfoot's final helper arrived on Kevin Stenlund's goal in the third period. Overall, the 30-year-old Kerfoot is up to 17 assists, 28 points and 101 shots on net in 80 appearances this season. While he has struggled at times this season, Kerfoot has played above a point per game down the stretch with eight points in his last seven games. Kerfoot's offensive impact is limited in a fourth-line role but he is making the most of his ice time down the stretch.

Impact Kerfoot missed Tuesday's game versus the Kraken due to an illness, but he was back in action Thursday, bumping Michael Carcone back to the press box. Kerfoot has seven points, 16 shots on net, 13 hits and 12 blocked shots over his last nine outings. For the season, the versatile forward has racked up 25 points, 99 shots on net, 57 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 78 appearances.

Back in lineup Thursday Kerfoot (illness) will return to the lineup versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact Kerfoot sat out one game with the illness. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 77 games this season. Kerfoot will replace Michael Carcone in the lineup.

Unavailable Tuesday Kerfoot (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Kraken.

Impact Kerfoot will miss his first game of the season. The 30-year-old had four points over his previous four contests prior to this absence. Matias Maccelli or Kailer Yamamoto will be in the lineup to cover Kerfoot's absence.

Stays warm with helper Kerfoot produced an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Kerfoot has six points and a plus-2 rating over his last six outings. The versatile forward set up Kevin Stenlund's goal in the first period. Both of them were listed on the fourth line but saw ice time more in line with middle-six usage as strong two-way forwards in a close game. Kerfoot is now at 24 points, 97 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 50 hits and a minus-9 rating across 75 appearances this season.

Records three points Sunday Kerfoot delivered one goal, two assists, three shots on goal, one blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Kerfoot notched his 11th goal of the season in the final stages of the third period, and while that would end up being the game-winning goal, he also set up two of the team's remaining four goals, including the first goal of the season for Nick DeSimone. Kerfoot has struggled with consistency, however, and after failing to crack the scoresheet in seven of his last nine appearances, it's hard to trust him in most fantasy formats -- especially considering his bottom-six role in the lineup.
