Placed on injured reserve Mermis (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Dec. 8.

Impact Mermis exited Monday's game against the Lightning in the third period, and his placement on injured reserve indicates that he'll miss at least a week due to his lower-body injury. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Philippe Myers is a candidate to see additional playing time in Mermis' absence, while defenseman Henry Thrun was also called up Wednesday.

Impact Mermis was forced out of the contest during the final frame after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Gage Goncalves, who received a major penalty and a game misconduct as a result of the play. Mermis recorded one shot on goal and one block in 10:34 of ice time prior to departing. The 31-year-old can be considered day-to-day until his status is updated ahead of Thursday's home matchup against San Jose.

Rare goal in overtime loss Mermis scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Mermis got the Maple Leafs on the board at 14:12 of the second period. This was the defenseman's first point in six NHL appearances this season. He's played primarily on the third pairing and the penalty kill, so don't expect significant offense moving forward. Mermis hadn't scored since the 2023-24 campaign when he netted a career-best three goals with the Wild.

Recalled from AHL Mermis has been recalled from AHL Toronto by the Maple Leafs, the team announced Sunday.

Impact The injury to Chris Tanev was serious enough to land him on injured reserve, and the corresponding move made was to bring Mermis up from the AHL. The 31-year-old has appeared in just three games between the AHL and NHL levels so far this season, recording no points in any of them. He will likely just serve as depth for now.

Heads to AHL Mermis was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Mermis had no points and one shot while logging 13:12 of ice time in his season debut with the Maple Leafs on Oct. 24. He followed that up by being a healthy scratch in Toronto's past three games. Mermis' demotion corresponds with Chris Tanev (concussion) being activated off injured reserve.

Toronto Maple Leafs Announce Pair of Roster Moves The Toronto Maple Leafs placed defenseman Chris Tanev on the injured reserve and recalled blue liner Dakota Mermis from the AHL.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • THENEWSTRIBUNE.COM

Back in NHL Mermis was recalled from AHL Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Mermis was held without a point in two AHL games this season before his recall. He will likely be the Maple Leafs sixth or seventh defenseman while Chris Tanev is out of action with an upper-body injury, depending on whether head coach Craig Berube decides to go with Philippe Myers or Mermis on the blue line.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Among Leafs final cuts Mermis was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

Impact Mermis will likely begin the season with AHL Toronto, where he had seven assists in 32 appearances last season. The 31-year-old did get into three games with the Maple Leafs last season, picking up one assist, but will likely need an injury to the current defense group to add to that total this season.
