Dermott signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Tuesday.
Dermott attended training camp with the Oilers on a professional tryout before landing a two-way agreement with the team. He compiled two goals, five assists, 64 blocked shots and 52 hits across 50 contests with Arizona during the 2023-24 regular season. Dermott will serve as Edmonton's seventh defender going into the 2024-25 campaign.

Oilers' Travis Dermott: Scores in loss
Rotowire
Dermott scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason loss to the Kraken.
The Oilers brought a mostly veteran roster to Seattle, with Dermott getting another chance on his tryout. It's unclear if he's done enough to earn a full contract, but that decision is unlikely to be made until Evander Kane (hip/abdomen) is placed on long-term injured reserve. Dermott would likely fill a rotational role on the third pairing in competition with Josh Brown and/or Troy Stecher for playing time.

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Season likely over
Rotowire
Dermott (upper body) is not expected to return this season, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports Tuesday.
It's been a tough season for Dermott, who has been limited to just 50 games this year in which he generated two goals and five helpers while averaging 17:17 of ice time. The 27-year-old blueliner's underwhelming season could impact his ability to cash in this offseason, as he will become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Rotowire
Dermott (upper body) left Sunday's 5-2 win over San Jose in the second period and didn't return, according to Alan Robinson of NHL.com.

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Hands out helper
Rotowire
Dermott notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
The helper was Dermott's first point since Feb. 12, though he played just four games out of 15 in that span. The 27-year-old has six points, 32 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 41 hits and a minus-12 rating through 40 appearances. The Coyotes are carrying only six defensemen currently -- Dermott's place in the lineup is safe as long as that continues, though Josh Brown is likely more at risk of a healthy scratch.

Rotowire
Dermott logged an assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

He's earned five points, 30 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 31 hits and a minus-11 rating through 35 outings. Dermott's role is a defensive one, so he's not much of an option for fantasy managers.

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Deposits goal
Rotowire
Dermott scored a goal on three shots, logged two hits, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.
Dermott's tally tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 27-year-old has scored both of his goals this season over his last seven outings. He's up to four points, 30 shots on net, 37 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 34 appearances.

Coyotes' Travis Dermott: Gets first point since return
Rotowire
Dermott logged an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.
Demott had gone 12 games without a point since returning from a hand injury Dec. 7. The defenseman appeared to be losing his grip on an everyday job after sitting out as a scratch Jan. 2, but Michael Kesselring came out of the lineup Sunday. Dermott has a meager two helpers with 23 shots on net, 18 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 23 appearances, so he doesn't need to be followed closely for fantasy.

Dermott is nearly recovered from a hand injury that earned him a week-to-week designation earlier in November. The 26-year-old defenseman could be an option to play Thursday versus the Avalanche. The Coyotes have two open roster spots, so they won't need to make a move prior to activating Dermott.
