EGOR ZAMULA NEWS

Stuck in part-time role Zamula played for the fifth time in eight games in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Zamula is in a part-time role, though the absence of Cam York (upper body) has opened the door for him to play more. A lack of offense isn't helping Zamula's case to stay in the lineup -- he's posted just one assist with nine shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this year. Even if he plays more regularly, he'll likely be limited to a third-pairing role.

Pockets helper Zamula notched an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Zamula set up Travis Konecny's second-period tally. Through six games for the Flyers, Zamula has made four appearances, logging one assist, six blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. His place in the lineup is not secure -- he could be challenged by Adam Ginning in the short term, and both players' ice time will likely take a hit once Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) can make his season debut.

APRIL 13 • Associated Press

Avoids scoreless month Zamula registered an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Zamula helped out on the first of two goals by Matvei Michkov in the contest. The helper was Zamula's first point in 14 games in March, and he's added 17 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating from the third pairing. The 25-year-old has had a steady role while Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) has been sidelined. Zamula has mostly underwhelmed in 2024-25 with 15 points, 32 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 56 appearances, so most fantasy managers can do better for defensive depth.

Secures helper in return Zamula notched an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Zamula missed eight games due to an upper-body injury. He slotted back in on the third pairing and logged 15:45 of ice time. Zamula will need to play well -- head coach John Tortorella won't hesitate to insert a veteran blueliner, Erik Johnson, into the lineup if Zamula's performance is poor. For the season, Zamula has 12 points, 25 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating across 40 appearances.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Saturday Zamula (upper body) is considered available to play Saturday versus the Oilers.

Impact It looks like Zamula will be officially activated from injured reserve prior to the contest. There's no guarantee he plays -- head coach John Tortorella may opt for a more veteran defensive group against the Oilers. In any case, Zamula should be in contention for bottom-four minutes moving forward.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Zamula (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Zamula has missed the last four games and is eligible to return at any time. The defenseman has three goals and eight assists with 59 blocked shots across 39 appearances this season.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss out Wednesday Zamula (upper body) is not expected back in the lineup versus the Devils on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Zamula should probably be considered a doubt heading into Thursday's matchup with the Islanders as well given the back-to-back. The 24-year-old blueliner was stuck in an 11-game goal drought prior to getting hurt while generating just six shots and two helpers over that stretch.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Monday Zamula (upper body) won't play against New Jersey on Monday.

Impact Zamula will miss his second straight game. He has produced three goals, eight assists, 25 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and 15 hits through 39 appearances this season. Due to Zamula's absence, Erik Johnson will be in the lineup versus the Devils.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Absence due to injury Zamula (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Islanders.

Impact Zamula struggled with a minus-2 rating versus the Rangers on Friday, extending his point drought to five games. It appears he's sustained an injury that will cause him to miss at least one contest. Erik Johnson will draw into the lineup to replace Zamula on Friday.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Collects assist Thursday Zamula notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Zamula has four points over his last eight outings. He's played better both on offense and defense lately, in part because he's playing alongside a shutdown defender in Rasmus Ristolainen. Zamula is at 10 points, 22 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 32 outings overall. He hasn't been in the power-play mix lately, so most fantasy managers can fade Zamula in the short term.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Nets two points Tuesday Zamula recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Sharks. He also notched two shots, two hits and posted a plus-2 rating.

Impact Zamula stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday and recorded his second multi-point game of the season -- and first since notching a one-goal, one-assist performance in a 5-2 win over the Sabres on Nov. 16. Zamula posted just three points (two goals, one assist) in 11 outings in December, however, so the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis conspires against his upside.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ends drought Monday Zamula scored a goal on two shots, doled out two hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Zamula's goal tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, though the Penguins would score three more times prior to the intermission. The tally ended Zamula's 10-game point drought, a span in which he went minus-5 and was scratched six times. The 24-year-old defenseman didn't feature on the power play Monday but is usually included on the second unit. Zamula has seven points, 17 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 25 appearances. Until his defense is steady enough to avoid drawing head coach John Tortorella's ire, the blueliner is a risky fantasy play.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet on offense Zamula was held off the scoresheet for the ninth game in a row in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Zamula's been scratched six times in that span, though he's played in the last four games. The 24-year-old is still struggling to carve out a regular role. Emil Andrae was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, so Zamula has a little more job security for now, but he may still exit the lineup for Erik Johnson or Cam York in the near future. Overall, Zamula has six points, 14 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 23 contests this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First goal of season Saturday Zamula scored a goal, recorded an assist and notched a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Zamula scored his first goal of the season Saturday with a wrist shot just 2:08 into the second period. He also set up Travis Sanheim's goal in the first frame, allowing him to record his first multi-point game of the campaign. Zamula wasn't very productive in the early stages of the season but has turned things around of late and is currently riding a three-game point streak.

Posts assist Zamula logged an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Zamula has played in four straight games, and he'll have a little security to stay in the lineup until Cam York (upper body) returns. The helper was Zamula's third of the season, snapping a four-game point drought. The 24-year-old blueliner has added nine shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating across 12 appearances, mainly in a third-pairing role with power-play time.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slides helper in loss Zamula provided an assist and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Zamula has two assists and a minus-10 rating through seven contests, and his defensive struggles could eventually cost him a spot in the lineup. The defenseman has added seven shots on net, six hits and 12 blocked shots. He's seen power-play time but plays on the third pairing at even strength, though head coach John Tortorella may get more reliable defense from veteran Erik Johnson.
