Dermott was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
Dermott was claimed off waivers by Edmonton from Minnesota on Wednesday. Because the Oilers had originally waived him back in December, and Edmonton was the only squad to put in a claim on him when Minnesota waived him, the Oilers are able to send Dermott to the minors. The 28-year-old has no points, six hits and 16 blocks over 19 outings between Edmonton and Minnesota this campaign.

Oilers' Travis Dermott: Claimed off waivers
Rotowire
Dermott was claimed off waivers by Edmonton from Minnesota on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Dermott was with the Oilers before the Wild claimed him off waivers Dec. 13, so unless an additional team put in a claim on him, Edmonton now has the option to send the 28-year-old to the minors. He has no points, six hits and 16 blocks in 19 appearances between Edmonton and Minnesota in 2024-25.

Wild's Travis Dermott: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Dermott was waived by the Wild on Tuesday.
Dermott is the odd man out due to Minnesota's blue line being fully healthy -- the club was carrying eight defensemen prior to this transaction. The Ontario native will report to AHL Iowa if he goes unclaimed on the waiver wire. Dermott will be an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of this campaign. The 28-year-old has garnered 16 goals and 62 points over 348 career regular-season games.

Wild's Travis Dermott: Back in depth role
Rotowire
Dermott was scratched for the 10th time in 11 games when he sat out Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
Dermott got some playing time in January when the Wild's blue line was ailing with multiple injuries. Since that part of the team has gotten healthy, Dermott has largely been relegated to the press box, and he didn't play even with seven blueliners in the lineup Saturday in the absence of Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). The 28-year-old Dermott has yet to earn a point over 19 outings between the Oilers and Wild, adding eight shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating.

Wild's Travis Dermott: Filling in on banged-up blue line
Rotowire
Dermott has played in five of the last six games after suiting up in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Dermott barely got any action with the Oilers before they waived him in December. He looked to be set for a similar part-time role with the Wild, but injuries to Jonas Brodin (lower body), Brock Faber (upper body) and Jared Spurgeon (lower body) have allowed Dermott to get more regular playing time, at least on a short-term basis. Overall, Dermott has yet to record a point through 17 appearances this season while adding six hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating.

Wild's Travis Dermott: Picked up off waivers
Rotowire
Minnesota claimed Dermott off waivers from Edmonton on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Dermott had no points, two PIM, three shots, six hits and 10 blocks in 10 appearances with Edmonton in 2024-25 before being waived. The Wild lost Jacob Middleton to a hand injury Thursday and placed him on long-term injured reserve Friday, so Dermott will provide the Wild with some needed defensive depth. Dermott will likely find himself competing with Cameron Crotty for a role on the third pairing.

Oilers' Travis Dermott: Available Saturday
Rotowire
Dermott (illness) is available to draw back into the lineup Saturday versus the Rangers, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Dermott was a late scratch Thursday due to the illness. He has no points, a minus-3 rating, six hits and 10 blocks in 10 appearances in 2024-25. While Dermott is projected to play Saturday, he might be a healthy scratch if Evan Bouchard (undisclosed), who is a game-time decision, ends up dressing.

Oilers' Travis Dermott: Late scratch Thursday
Rotowire
Dermott is a late scratch for Thursday's game against Minnesota due to an illness, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Dermott has no points, six hits and 10 blocks in 10 appearances in 2024-25. Josh Brown, who was otherwise projected to be a healthy scratch, will serve on the third pairing due to Dermott's absence.

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

Oilers' Travis Dermott: Inks one-year contract
Rotowire
Dermott signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Tuesday.
Dermott attended training camp with the Oilers on a professional tryout before landing a two-way agreement with the team. He compiled two goals, five assists, 64 blocked shots and 52 hits across 50 contests with Arizona during the 2023-24 regular season. Dermott will serve as Edmonton's seventh defender going into the 2024-25 campaign.

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

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

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Suffers injury Sunday
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Out Friday
Rotowire
Dermott (illness) will not suit up Friday against Detroit.
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, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

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

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Deposits goal
Rotowire
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.
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, 37 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.
