Mercer tweaked a lingering upper-body issue in Winnipeg's previous game, and did not practice on Monday. The 25-year-old forward has two assists (0G / 2A) in five games since joining the Jets via trade earlier this season.
Mercer, the 18th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, was typically buried in New Jersey's lineup and never had a chance to show his offensive potential. The 24-year-old forward had an encouraging 56-point season (27G / 29A) as a sophomore in 2022-23, but never lived up to that billing in the following three seasons. He should see a larger offensive role with the Winnipeg Jets.
After a long offseason of negotiations, New Jersey's remaining UFA Dawson Mercer has signed a three-year, $12 million contract extension ($4,000,000 AAV) with the Devils. The 22-year-old was New Jersey's 2020 1st round pick (18th overall) and had the worst year of his three-year career in 2023-24 where he picked up 20 goals, 33 points, 134 SOG and a -26 plus/minus in 82 games played.
