Career Seravalli joined Daily Faceoff (DFO) in June 2021, helping launch the content wing of the DailyFaceoff web site. In addition to breaking news and reporting as an Insider, he oversees all content aspects of the site, co-hosts the Daily Faceoff Show digital stream and the DFO Rundown podcast. Additionally, he is a regular contributor to Canadian sports network Rogers Sportsnet on television and Sportsnet Radio, as well as American regional broadcaster Bally Sports throughout the hockey season.

On the morning of the 2021 NHL expansion draft, Seravalli stirred minor controversy by confirming a number of restricted free agents who had already signed deals with the new Seattle Kraken franchise, by default counting as the players drafted from their respective teams (the Kraken were allowed to draft one player from each team); some fans argued this tainted the surprise and excitement of the Kraken pretending to randomly "draft" these players on the television broadcast that night.

Prior to Daily Faceoff, Seravalli served at TSN as Senior Hockey Reporter for breaking NHL news for TSN's web site. He regularly appeared on SportsCentre, That's Hockey, TSN Radio and other TSN Hockey specials from 2015 to 2021.

Seravalli began his career covering the Philadelphia Flyers at the Philadelphia Daily News for six seasons from 2009 to 2015.

In 2019, Seravalli was elected as president of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association (PHWA).
