Pots goal Monday Mercer scored a goal with his lone shot in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Mercer enjoyed an excellent start to the season with eight goals and 13 points over his first 12 regular-season contests. However, the winger cooled off considerably since then and has been limited to only 16 points (five goals, 11 helpers) in his subsequent 37 appearances. Mercer will continue to have opportunities to produce, especially given he's posted three points over his last four games, but the consistent drop in production in recent weeks has limited his upside in most formats.

Adds apple in loss Mercer registered an assist and had two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Mercer had the secondary helper on Brett Pesce's goal in the first period. The 24-year-old Mercer is up to 14 assists, 24 points, 75 shots on net and 29 blocks across 37 games this season. Despite playing at a sub-par level offensively in December, he is starting to heat up with an assist in back-to-back games. He has maintained his spot on New Jersey's top line alongside Nico Hischier and Timo Meier since the latter and Jack Hughes returned to the team's top six two games ago. Regardless of the line combinations, Mercer should continue to see top-six minutes on a wing if he continues to produce points.
