Mermis has been a regular in the lineup for the last six weeks but will be a healthy scratch on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 30-year-old Mermis has seven points (2G / 5A) in 37 games this season while primarily playing on a defensive pair with Jon Merrill.
Mermis will play for the first time since last Thursday as he takes the place of Daemon Hunt on the Wild blue-line. Mermis has two goals and three assists in 15 games this season.

This could very well just be a paper transaction to save some cap space, as the Wild don't play again until Thursday. Mermis has two goals and three assists in 14 games with the Wild this season.
Vinni Lettieri has been reassigned to the Iowa Wild (AHL) in favour of 29-year-old journeyman Mermis. Mermis spent 13 games wild Minnesota earlier this season, scoring five points (2G / 3A) and 21 penalty minutes.
Mermis spent most of the 2023 season in the AHL, but appeared in two NHL games with the Wild. The 29-year-old blue liner had 26 points (5G / 21A) in 63 AHL games and has four points (1G / 3A) in 27 career NHL games with the Coyotes, Devils and Wild.
Mermis has five goals, 19 assists, 57 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 46 games played with the Iowa Wild (AHL) and is expected to make his season debut with the Wild Thursday as they take on Columbus. The 29-year-old has previously played in 25 NHL games, racking up a goal and three assists.
Mermis has five goals, 19 assists, 57 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 46 games played with the Iowa Wild (AHL) but has been recalled on Wednesday for the first time this season. The 29-year-old has previously played in 25 NHL games, racking up a goal and three assists.
Mermis has been primarily an AHL defenseman in recent years, picking up six goals and 37 assists (43 points) in 115 AHL games in 2019 and 2020 combined. In 2021, the 27-year-old failed to record a point in three games with the Wild.
Mermis is a hard-working defenseman but doesn't bring a lot of offence to the equation. He had four points in 10 games with the Coyotes last season but that was an outlier when you put it up against his AHL numbers. The Wild have a quality blueline, so it will be difficult for Mermis to crack that group to start 2021.
