Wild claim Dermott off waivers from Oilers

NHL News

The Minnesota Wild claimed defenseman Travis Dermott off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.

Dermott, who turns 28 on Dec. 22, signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton before the season. The Oilers placed him on waivers Thursday.

Dermott did not produce a point in 10 appearances for the Oilers. He averaged 13:05 of ice time and accrued two penalty minutes with three shots on goal.

The journeyman will join his fifth NHL team.

Originally a second-round draft pick in 2015 by Toronto, Dermott has played in 339 games for the Maple Leafs (2017 to 2022), Vancouver Canucks (2022-23), Arizona Coyotes (2023-24) and Oilers. He has totaled 62 points (16 goals, 46 assists).
