Dermott scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott is a top-four defender of the future for the Leafs. As his game continues to develop, he contributes sporadic fantasy production. But it's not enough for him to play a regular role on your squad. Dermott has 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in 48 games this season.

Dermott will be in action versus Buffalo on Tuesday after the team recalls him from the minors, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott's demotion to the minors was always going to be temporary, as the team needed the roster flexibility to sign William Nylander. In order to bring Dermott back from AHL Toronto, the club traded Josh Leivo to Vancouver for minor-league Michael Carcone. With the 21-year-old Dermott back with the Leafs, Igor Ozhiganov figures to head back to the press box.

Dermott was assigned to the AHL on Sunday to make room for the return of William Nylander, reports Sportsnet.ca.

EDGE Analysis

It was a bit of a surprise, but at the same time it makes sense. Dermott can go down without waivers, but the Leafs will need to waive or trade someone if they want the defender back in the lineup Tuesday against the Sabres. Dermott is averaging 17:45 in 24 games this season and has six points (one goal, five assists).

Dermott (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday against the Stars, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott missed Monday's game despite returning to practice Sunday, but his absence from the ice will officially come to an end Thursday when the team takes on the Stars. Considering he owns just one point -- an assist -- over nine contests this season, and remains off the power play, Dermott's value in many fantasy leagues will be capped.

Dermott (illness) returned to practice Sunday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott missed the last two games with this illness, but he's expected to be ready for Monday's game versus the Jets. The 21-year-old blueliner has an assist and a minus-5 rating through nine games, so his fantasy value is negligible at this time.

Dermott (illness) will likely miss Saturday's matchup with Winnipeg after coach Mike Babcock told reporters the defenseman would be out "awhile longer", per Mark Masters of TSN.ca.

EDGE Analysis

While Dermott seems poised to miss the Jets, he could still be back in time to face off with the Flames on Monday. At this point, fantasy owners will need to take a wait and see approach in regards to the Ontario native's status. In the meantime, Martin Marincin should continue to fill in on the blue line.

Dermott won't play Wednesday against the Jets due to an illness, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott has only tallied one assist in nine games this campaign, so his absence likely won't impact many fantasy lineups. The 21-year-old blueliner will hope to recover in time for Saturday's matchup with Winnipeg.

Dermott (shoulder) has been cleared to play, but won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's preseason matchup with Montreal, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he won't play Wednesday, Dermott will almost certainly crack the lineup for Friday's home game against the Red Wings or Saturday's preseason finale in Detroit. The 21-year-old blueliner only appeared in 37 games with the big club last campaign, notching one goal and 13 points while averaging 16:00 of ice time, but he should be an everyday player for the Maple Leafs in 2018-19.

Dermott (shoulder) told reporters, "Nothing too worrisome, Within the next few days I'll be 100 percent," Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Dermott won't be in action against the Canadiens on Monday, it seems the blueliner may be ready in time for Wednesday's clash with the Habs. In the 37 games as a rookie, the 21-year-old racked up 13 points and a plus-16 rating. If he plays a full 82 campaign, the youngster could certainly challenge for the 40-point mark this year.

Dermott (shoulder) was spotted in a regular jersey during Saturday's practice, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was a big step forward for Dermott after sporting a non-contact jersey Friday. Now that he's ready to engage physically, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dermott in action either Saturday against the Sabres or Monday versus the Canadiens.
