Dawson Mercer - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Good to go Tuesday Mercer (upper body) will play in Tuesday's road clash against the Canadiens, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Impact Mercer won't miss any time after he appeared on Monday's injury report with an upper-body issue. Overall, the 25-year-old center has posted six points, 30 shots on net, 13 hits and 10 blocked shots across 15 outings between New Jersey and Winnipeg this season. Head coach Scott Arniel didn't state where Mercer would draw into Tuesday's lineup, but fantasy managers can likely expect the young winger to see his standard amount of playing time from one of the team's bottom-three lines.

Dealing with upper-body injury Mercer didn't participate in Monday's practice session due to an upper-body injury, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Mercer hasn't yet been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Montreal, but a better idea of his status could come into focus based on whether he participates in Tuesday's morning skate. The 25-year-old has appeared in each of the Jets' first 15 games of the regular season, recording six assists, 13 hits and 10 blocked shots while averaging 15:24 of ice time.

Gets first helper with new team Mercer logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning.

Impact The current headliner of the return for Connor Hellebuyck, Mercer's arrival in Winnipeg has gotten off to a slow start. The helper was his first point in three games with his new team. The 25-year-old has had some bad luck so far, coming up empty on 28 shots while adding five assists, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 13 appearances between the Jets and the Devils. He's in a middle-six role with ice time in all situation, so he should be able to get his offense going soon, as long as he can adjust to his new teammates.

Traded to Winnipeg Mercer, Alexander Command, Nico Daws, Nick Bjugstad and a pair of draft picks were traded to the Jets from the Devils on Friday in exchange for Connor Hellebuyck.

Impact Mercer appeared in all 82 regular-season games with the Devils across the past five seasons, and he appeared in the team's first 10 matchups of the 2026-27 campaign. He's recorded no goals, four assists, nine hits and eight blocked shots while averaging 15:06 of ice time to begin the year, and he should continue to have plenty of opportunities to make an impact with his new team.

Puts up two assists Mercer logged two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Mercer's offense is starting to surface -- he has three helpers over his last two games. The 24-year-old forward had gone five contests without a point to start the season. Mercer has added 18 shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He's in a top-six role, so he should have plenty of opportunities to contribute, but his overall usage, particularly on the power play, is down to start 2026-27.

Chips in with helper Mercer logged an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Mercer had been held off the scoresheet in the first five games of the year. The 24-year-old fills a versatile role for the Devils, playing just about anywhere he's needed in the top nine. He had 42 points over 82 regular-season games in 2025-26. Mercer can be a steady source of depth scoring and shots but won't add much else for fantasy managers.
