Dermott was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott was claimed off waivers by Edmonton from Minnesota on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott was waived by the Wild on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott was scratched for the 10th time in 11 games when he sat out Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott has played in five of the last six games after suiting up in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

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 regularly 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.

Minnesota claimed Dermott off waivers from Edmonton on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott was placed on waivers by the Oilers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott signed a contract with the Oilers just before the start of the regular season as he was on a PTO throughout training camp. The 27-year-old failed to pick up a point in 10 NHL games this season and has been a healthy scratch over the last seven games. Dermott will be sent to AHL Bakersfield if he clears waivers.

Dermott (illness) is available to draw back into the lineup Saturday versus the Rangers, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Dermott is a late scratch for Thursday's game against Minnesota due to an illness, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
