Nets goal Saturday
DMinnesota Wild
February 24, 2024
Mermis scored a goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Mermis capped a run of three goals in 5:49 during the second period. He snapped a six-game point drought with his first goal since Oct. 26. The 30-year-old defenseman has seen steady playing time this season, posting eight points with 36 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 34 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 40 appearances. That's not enough offense to help in most fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heading to AHL soon?
DMinnesota Wild
November 22, 2023
Mermis is likely to be sent to AHL Iowa once Alex Goligoski, who is recovering from a broken fibula, is ready to be activated from the long-term injured reserve list, per Michael Russo and Shayna Goldman of The Athletic on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Goligoski is almost ready to return, so the Wild will need to clear cap space for him soon. Mermis has two goals, five points, 21 PIM, seven hits and 21 blocks in 13 contests this season. He already cleared waivers Friday, so moving him to the AHL would be frictionless.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
Mermis opened his NHL account with four points in 10 games for the Devils last year. He also posted 19 points in 53 appearances with AHL Binghamton, but he's never been much of a threat for offense from the blue line. With the Wild, Mermis is likely to serve as a rotational depth option on the left side, but he's unlikely to unseat Carson Soucy from the third pairing. The 27-year-old Mermis will most likely end up on the taxi squad or back in the minors in 2020-21.
Mermis is a shifty 24-year-old defenseman who last played for the AHL's Roadrunners. While the Illinois native skated to a minus-2 rating and failed to dent the scoresheet over nine NHL games in 2017-18, Arizona granted the defenseman a one-year, two-way contract extension to signal that the organization is committed to helping him grow. Mermis seems like a longshot to gain fanfare in the fantasy realm, but stranger things have happened in hockey.
