Another two-point effort Mercer produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact It's the second straight two-point performance for the 22-year-old, who is thriving while skating alongside a healthy Jack Hughes. Mercer began the season with a 10-game point drought, but since then he's turned things around, racking up five goals and eight points over his last 10 contests. A lack of consistent power-play time limits his fantasy upside, but he's still capable of contributing given his top-line role at even strength.

Buries power-play goal Mercer scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Mercer got the Devils within two goals late in the third period, but they couldn't build a rally. The 22-year-old has benefited from the absences of Nico Hischier (upper body) and Jack Hughes (shoulder) -- Mercer's been in a top-six role and has scored all three of his goals over the last four games. That's all of his offense through 14 contests to go with 27 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating.

Pots first goal of season Mercer scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over Chicago.

Impact With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier both sidelined due to upper-body injuries, Mercer slid into a top-six role at even strength and a prominent spot on the power play, and the 22-year-old capitalized by jamming a shot past Arvid Soderblom midway through the first period. It was Mercer's first point of the season in 11 games, but with both Hughes and Hischier lacking timelines for their return, he should get enough opportunities in the short term to provide some fantasy value.

Still no points this season Mercer had two shots, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over Minnesota, as his season-opening point drought reached nine games.

Impact Mercer's sophomore slump has arrived a year late. He had 27 goals and 29 assists in a promising second season, building off a 42-point rookie campaign, but the 2020 first-round pick has yet to get on the scoresheet in 2022-23. Mercer's seeing time on the second power-play unit and had 1:20 PP TOI on Thursday, but patience has to be wearing thin for anyone who drafted Mercer hoping that he'd take another step forward in his development this season.
