Mermis spent most of the 2023 season in the AHL, but appeared in two NHL games with the Wild. The 29-year-old blue liner had 26 points (5G / 21A) in 63 AHL games and has four points (1G / 3A) in 27 career NHL games with the Coyotes, Devils and Wild.
Mermis has five goals, 19 assists, 57 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 46 games played with the Iowa Wild (AHL) and is expected to make his season debut with the Wild Thursday as they take on Columbus. The 29-year-old has previously played in 25 NHL games, racking up a goal and three assists.
Mermis has five goals, 19 assists, 57 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 46 games played with the Iowa Wild (AHL) but has been recalled on Wednesday for the first time this season. The 29-year-old has previously played in 25 NHL games, racking up a goal and three assists.
Mermis has been primarily an AHL defenseman in recent years, picking up six goals and 37 assists (43 points) in 115 AHL games in 2019 and 2020 combined. In 2021, the 27-year-old failed to record a point in three games with the Wild.
Mermis is a hard-working defenseman but doesn't bring a lot of offence to the equation. He had four points in 10 games with the Coyotes last season but that was an outlier when you put it up against his AHL numbers. The Wild have a quality blueline, so it will be difficult for Mermis to crack that group to start 2021.
Mermis was called-up prior to Tuesday’s game because the status of Alex Goligoski was uncertain. Goligoski ended up playing so Mermis returns to the AHL.
Mermis, 24, has played just one game with the Coyotes and returns to the Roadrunners where he has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games. His return to the AHL suggests that one or both of Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski will return on Wednesday.
Mermis has yet to appear in a game with the Coyotes this season but has been recalled because Jakob Chychrun is out again. Mermis has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with Tucson.
Mermis has recorded five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with the Roadrunners this season. Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers were not on the ice for Coyotes’ practice on Tuesday, which could have something to do with Mermis being called-up.
Mermis spent most of the 2018 season in the AHL, where he had two goals and 17 assists (19 points) in 59 games with Tucson. He had a nine-game stint with the Coyotes and will fight for a spot as their No.6/7 defenseman in training camp.
Mermis, 24, has two goals and 17 assists (19 points) in 57 games with the Roadrunners this season. He returns to the NHL, where he failed to record a point in seven games with the Coyotes earlier this season.
