Egor Zamula - NHL News & Rumors

No qualifying offer Zamula didn't get a qualifying offer from Columbus on Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Zamula will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Wednesday. He had three assists, 18 shots on net and 40 blocked shots across 33 regular-season appearances between Columbus and Philadelphia in 2025-26.

Notches helper Thursday Zamula had an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Zamula is filling in while the Blue Jackets are missing Zach Werenski (illness). This was Zamula's third straight game in the lineup, and the helper was his first since Jan. 17 versus the Penguins. The defenseman has accumulated just three assists with 15 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 26 contests between Columbus and Philadelphia third season.

First point with new team Zamula logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Zamula was traded from the Flyers to the Penguins in late December but refused to report to Pittsburgh's AHL team. He was unconditionally waived and then signed with the Blue Jackets, where he's stepped into a bottom-four role right away. The helper was his first point in five games with Columbus, matching his total from 13 contests with the Flyers. He's at two assists, 11 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances this season. Zamula will look to keep Jake Christiansen stuck in the press box moving forward.

Links up with Columbus Zamula signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Columbus on Tuesday, PuckPedia reports.

Impact After being dealt to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on Wednesday, Zamula was put on unconditional waivers by the Penguins on Monday for the purpose of terminating his contract. Zamula will now join another team in the Metropolitan Division this season, as the Blue Jackets signed him due to a few injuries they are dealing with on the blue line. The left-shot blueliner will fill a depth role for his new club and could replace Jake Christiansen on the third pairing in short order.

Lands on unconditional waivers Zamula was placed on unconditional waivers Monday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pittsburgh acquired Zamula from Philadelphia on Wednesday in exchange for Philip Tomasino. However, Zamula didn't report to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after the trade, which resulted in a suspension by the team. Assuming he goes unclaimed, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

Dealt Wednesday Zamula was acquired by Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on Wednesday in exchange for Philip Tomasino.

Impact Zamula has an assist, four PIM, two hits and 15 blocks in 13 appearances with the Flyers this season. He also has two assists in three games with AHL Lehigh Valeey. Zamula was placed on waivers Dec. 18 and sent to the minors after clearing, so Pittsburgh has the option of keeping the 25-year-old in the AHL.

Waived by team Zamula was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Zamula has featured in just five of Philadelphia's last 20 games, so it shouldn't come as a shock to see the team trying to move him to the minors -- assuming he clears. Even when the 25-year-old blueliner has played, he's failed to offer much in the way of productivity, generating one point, 15 blocks and nine shots.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Stutzle's power-play goal in OT gives Senators 4-3 win over Flyers

Tim Stutzle capped a two-goal effort with the power-play winner 1:40 into overtime to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 4-3 comeback win over the Philadelphia Flyers

APRIL 13, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.
