TRAVIS DERMOTT NEWS

Could see more playing time Dermott was in the lineup for a second straight game in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact A tight cap situation has forced the Oilers to deploy seven defensemen for the last two games, as Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) has been unavailable. Darnell Nurse (upper body) exited Saturday's game after an ugly hit, so Dermott may be set to take over a spot on the third pairing if Nurse misses time. Through his first eight appearances with the Oilers, Dermott has no points, three shots on goal, seven blocked shots, four hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating, so he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Impact Dermott attended training camp with the Oilers on a professional tryout before landing a two-way agreement with the team.

Dermott will serve as Edmonton's seventh defender going into the 2024-25 campaign.

Scores in loss Dermott scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Kraken.

Impact The Oilers brought a mostly veteran roster to Seattle, with Dermott getting another chance on his tryout. It's unclear if he's done enough to earn a full contract, but that decision is unlikely to be made until Evander Kane (hip/abdomen) is placed on long-term injured reserve. Dermott would likely fill a rotational role on the third pairing in competition with Josh Brown and/or Troy Stecher for playing time.

Inks PTO with Edmonton Dermott (upper body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Oilers on Tuesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Dermott struggled with seven points in 50 games for Arizona last season. The 27-year-old will head to the Oilers with a chance to win a bottom-pairing job on the blue line, though he begins the preseason behind his fellow former Coyotes in Troy Stecher and Josh Brown.

Season likely over Dermott (upper body) is not expected to return this season, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports Tuesday.

Impact It's been a tough season for Dermott, who has been limited to just 50 games this year in which he generated two goals and five helpers while averaging 17:17 of ice time. The 27-year-old blueliner's underwhelming season could impact his ability to cash in this offseason, as he will become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury Sunday Dermott (upper body) left Sunday's 5-2 win over San Jose in the second period and didn't return, according to Alan Robinson of NHL.com.

Impact There was no update on Dermott's status following the contest, so it's unclear if he will be available for Tuesday's contest against Seattle. If he can't play, the Coyotes will need to bring up a defender from AHL Tucson.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up assist Dermott logged an assist and blocked three shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Dermott ended his eight-game point drought by helping out on Michael Carcone's go-ahead goal with 5:13 left in the third period. The 27-year-old Dermott is up to seven points through 49 outings in a bottom-four role this season. He's added 37 shots on net, 24 PIM, a minus-13 rating, 52 hits and 64 blocked shots. Dermott has limited offensive upside, so his fantasy value is low.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out helper Dermott notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact The helper was Dermott's first point since Feb. 12, though he played just four games out of 15 in that span. The 27-year-old has six points, 32 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 41 hits and a minus-12 rating through 40 appearances. The Coyotes are carrying only six defensemen currently -- Dermott's place in the lineup is safe as long as that continues, though Josh Brown is likely more at risk of a healthy scratch.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Dermott (illness) will play Tuesday against the Wild.

Impact Dermott will play on the third pairing following a two-game absence. He has picked up two goals, three assists, 50 blocked shots and 40 hits over 38 outings this season. Victor Soderstrom was assigned to AHL Tucson on Tuesday to make room for Dermott's return to the lineup.

Impact Dermott is expected to miss his second straight contest. He has two goals, three assists, 50 blocked shots and 40 hits over 38 outings this season. Victor Soderstrom is projected to remain in the lineup versus the Blackhawks due to Dermott's absence.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Dermott (illness) will not suit up Friday against Detroit.

Impact Dermott is considered day-to-day with an illness, so he could return as early as Sunday in Chicago. The 27-year-old hasn't scored a point since Feb. 12.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor injury Dermott (undisclosed) has a minor injury, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Impact There's not much information available on what Dermott is dealing with but it sounds like he could be a game-time call for Friday's game against Detroit. He has five points in 38 games this season.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Produces helper Monday Dermott logged an assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Dermott has a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 27-year-old defenseman has stayed in a bottom-four role with the Coyotes enjoying nearly full health on the blue line. He's earned five points, 30 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 31 hits and a minus-11 rating through 35 outings. Dermott's role is a defensive one, so he's not much of an option for fantasy managers.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Deposits goal Dermott scored a goal on three shots, logged two hits, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Dermott's tally tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 27-year-old has scored both of his goals this season over his last seven outings. He's up to four points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 34 appearances. Dermott's usage is likely to remain mostly defensive, so he doesn't make for a strong fantasy option.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Thursday Dermott (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Vegas.

Impact Dermott has a goal, three points, 14 PIM, 28 hits and 42 blocks in 32 contests this season. He's projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Matt Dumba, who is returning from an upper-body injury. Josh Brown is set to be a healthy scratch.

Not playing Saturday Dermott (lower body) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Carolina.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Nets first goal this season Dermott scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Dermott was responsible for Arizona's lone tally Thursday, tying the game 1-1 late in the first period with his first goal of the season. The 27-year-old blueliner has just three points and a minus-3 rating through 28 games this season while averaging a career-most 17:25 of ice time this year.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first point since return Dermott logged an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Demott had gone 12 games without a point since returning from a hand injury Dec. 7. The defenseman appeared to be losing his grip on an everyday job after sitting out as a scratch Jan. 2, but Michael Kesselring came out of the lineup Sunday. Dermott has a meager two helpers with 23 shots on net, 18 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 23 appearances, so he doesn't need to be followed closely for fantasy.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Good to play Thursday Dermott (hand) has been removed from injured reserve and will play Thursday against Philadelphia, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.

Impact This will be Dermott's first game since Nov. 7. He has an assist, five hits and 14 blocks in 10 contests this season. Dermott's return corresponds with Sean Durzi (lower body) exiting the lineup.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Thursday Dermott (hand) will be a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with the Flyers, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Impact Dermott has been sidelined for the club's last 12 contests due to his lingering hand problem. In order to suit up Thursday, Dermott will need to be activated off injured reserve. With Sean Durzi (lower body) also a doubt, the Yotes could find themselves stretched thin on the blue line.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Dermott (hand) will not play Tuesday versus the Lightning, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Impact Dermott is nearly recovered from a hand injury that earned him a week-to-week designation earlier in November. The 26-year-old defenseman could be an option to play Thursday versus the Avalanche. The Coyotes have two open roster spots, so they won't need to make a move prior to activating Dermott.
