Kurtis MacDermid - NHL News & Rumors

Still in part-time role MacDermid logged a season-high four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

Impact MacDermid has a short-term path to playing time while Stefan Noesen (illness) and Erik Haula (ankle) are out. Even if he continues to suit up, MacDermid will have extremely limited minutes on the fourth line -- his 6:36 of ice time Tuesday was his fourth-highest total of the season. He doesn't have a point this season while adding five shots on net, 29 hits and 19 PIM across 17 appearances.

Playing time hard to come by MacDermid has been scratched for eight of the Devils' last 10 games after sitting out Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The Devils look to be finding ways to avoid playing MacDermid -- amid a run of injuries to forwards, call-ups took over the vacated fourth-line spots in the lineup. MacDermid has no points, 20 hits and 17 PIM over 12 appearances this season. With Nathan Bastian back from a jaw injury, it's even less likely MacDermid will play much, as the Devils don't need two enforcers in the lineup.

Getting fourth-line TOI MacDermid had one shot on net, three blocks and one hit over 6:24 of ice time in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact MacDermid made a second consecutive start and toiled away on the fourth line. He's been in the active lineup, skating on the fourth line after the Devils suffered injuries to Curtis Lazar (knee) and Nathan Bastian (jaw). Lazar is estimated to return sometime next week while Bastian's injury could sideline him until the end of the month. MacDermid is fond of throwing his body around and could rack up a significant amount of hits in any game in which he's active.

Not seeing much playing time MacDermid has played in just three of the Devils' 13 games so far.

Impact MacDermid is an out-and-out enforcer -- he's fought twice in his three games while adding six hits. The 30-year-old defenseman-turned-forward appears to be an option only when the Devils think they'll need extra toughness in the lineup or when a winger is injured. He had three points, 73 PIM and 83 hits over 45 regular-season outings between Colorado and New Jersey in 2023-24.

MAY 17, 2024 • THESTATE.COM

Pens three-year contract MacDermid agreed to terms on a three-year, $3.45 million contract with New Jersey on Friday.

Impact MacDermid will remain with the Devils after joining the club at the trade deadline this last season. In his 16 appearances for the club, the 30-year-old winger managed just one point to go with 29 hits, two blocks and 50 PIM. The decision to give MacDermid a three-year deal does seem a little surprising when you consider he averaged a meager 4:22 of ice time. Looking ahead to next season, MacDermid probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited minutes and lack of offensive upside.

Impact MacDermid has two goals, three points, 53 PIM and 67 hits in 39 outings in 2023-24. His return to the lineup might result in Max Willman being a healthy scratch.

Dealt to Devils MacDermind was traded from Colorado to New Jersey in exchange for Zakhar Bardakov and a seventh-round draft pick Friday.

Impact MacDermid has been a healthy scratch for a large chunk of the year with the Avalanche, tallying just two assists in 29 appearances. He should fill a similar depth role for the Devils.

Nets early goal MacDermid scored a goal, levied four hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact MacDermid tallied just 1:40 into the game, his first since he scored a game-winner versus the Wild on Nov. 24. The 29-year-old also took a third-period penalty that led to the Ducks' second goal. MacDermid has two goals on three shots while adding nine PIM and 11 hits over six contests this season. His 6:27 of ice time Tuesday was a season high -- there are virtually no fantasy formats where a player in as limited a role as MacDermid can generate value.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes rare contribution MacDermid scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Impact This was just his fifth game of the season. MacDermid saw just 3:30 of ice time in a fourth-line role -- he's been under five minutes of ice time in three of his appearances. The 29-year-old defenseman-turned-winger has added two shots on net, seven hits, seven PIM and a plus-1 rating. Once Logan O'Connor (lower body) and Tomas Tatar (undisclosed) can return, MacDermid is likely headed back to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Active Wednesday MacDermid had one shot and four hits over 5:54 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-1 win over St. Louis.

Impact MacDermid was active for the first time since opening night -- a stretch of seven healthy scratches -- and skated on the fourth line. He was one of two changes to the roster following two consecutive shutout losses; the other was the addition of Riley Tufte. Those two replaced Jonathan Drouin and Tomas Tatar, both of whom were healthy scratches. MacDermid was an odd choice given the team's recent lack of offense, but it looks like he was in the lineup to provide a physical component. That had been lacking in Colorado's previous game Saturday, when star defenseman Cale Makar was the subject of a questionable hit by Buffalo's Kyle Okposo.
