Mermis (jaw) was assigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning loan Wednesday. - Mermis hasn't yet suited up during the regular season after undergoing jaw surgery in late September, but his conditioning assignment suggests that he's close to returning to action. The Maple Leafs are dealing with several injuries to their forwards, but their defensive pairs are relatively healthy, so Mermis could be forced to remain in the minors once he's officially back to full health. |

Mermis (jaw) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday. - Mermis underwent jaw surgery in late September and will miss the first several weeks of the regular season while he recovers. He was expected to compete for a depth spot on Toronto's blueline prior to his procedure, but he could be forced to spend time in the minors when he's back to full health. The 30-year-old made a career-high 47 appearances in the NHL with the Wild last year, totaling three goals, 59 blocked shots and 45 hits while averaging 14:05 of ice time. |

Mermis is listed as week-to-week after having jaw surgery Thursday. - Mermis was expected to compete for a depth spot on Toronto's blueline, but this serves as a major setback for the Illinois native. The 30-year-old had the most productive campaign of his career in 2023-24 -- he appeared in 47 regular-season contests, garnering eight points and a minus-2 rating. Mermis will likely miss a good chunk of the early portion of the 2024-25 season as he recovers from surgery. |

Mermis scored a goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken. - 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. |

Mermis is up to seven points, 31 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 25 PIM, 21 hits and a minus-2 rating over 33 appearances this season. While he's been a regular in the lineup, the 30-year-old is unlikely to produce enough offense to help most fantasy managers. |

Mermis tallied a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Philadelphia. - Mermis got the Wild on the board in the third period, cleaning up a loose puck to cut the deficit to 3-1. The 29-year-old blueliner already set a new career high with two goals and four points through his first five games this season. While it's unlikely Mermis can keep up his current scoring pace, he could have some value in deeper leagues as he's seeing time on the power play with Jared Spurgeon (upper body) and Alex Goligoski (lower body) both on the long-term IR. |
