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

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

Devils' Dawson Mercer: 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.
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.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: 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.
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.

He's up to 20 goals, 42 points, 156 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 33 PIM, 32 hits and a minus-2 rating over 81 contests this season.

The 24-year-old forward is now just two points shy of reaching 40 on the season, which would be his first time with 40 or more points since the 2022-23 season. With five points over his last six games, Mercer holds solid streaming value in most standard fantasy formats for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Goal may light fire under his game
Mercer scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Pots goal Monday
Mercer scored a goal with his lone shot in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.
Mercer enjoyed an excellent start to the campaign with eight goals and 13 points over his first 12 regular-season contests. However, the winger has cooled off considerably since then and has been limited to only 16 points (five goals, 11 helpers) in his subsequent 37 appearances. Mercer will continue to have opportunities to produce, especially given that he's posted three points over his last four games, but the overall drop in production since that hot start has limited his appeal in most formats.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Two-point effort in win
Mercer produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
The 24-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first period, wiring a shot past Jesper Wallstedt on a feed from behind the net by Nico Hischier. Mercer then helped set up Ondrej Palat for New Jersey's final tally in the third. It was Mercer's first multi-point performance since Nov. 29, while the goal was only his second in 21 games since then. On the season, he's managed 12 goals and 28 points in 46 contests.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Deposits lone goal in loss
Mercer scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Mercer ended his 16-game goal drought with a first-period tally. During that stretch, he was limited to five assists, 34 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 24-year-old has been playing center on the second line for the last few games while Jack Hughes works on the wing with Nico Hischier centering the top line. Even with the recent slump, Mercer's at 11 goals and 26 points through 42 outings this season, putting him on pace to top the 50-point mark for the second time in his career.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Adds apple in loss
Mercer registered an assist and had two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
Mercer had the secondary helper on Brett Pesce's goal in the first period. The 24-year-old Mercer is up to 14 assists, 24 points, 75 shots on net and 29 blocks across 37 games this season. Despite playing at a sub-par level offensively in December, he is starting to heat up with an assist in back-to-back games. He has maintained his spot on New Jersey's top line alongside Nico Hischier and Timo Meier since the latter and Jack Hughes returned to the team's top six two games ago. Regardless of the line combinations, Mercer should continue to see top-six minutes on a wing if he continues to produce points.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Adds assist Sunday
Mercer registered an assist and placed a shot on goal in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Vancouver.
Mercer picked up a secondary helper on Luke Hughes' goal in the second period. With the apple, Mercer has 12 assists, 22 points, 66 shots on goal and 25 blocks through 33 appearances this season. He used Sunday's contest to earn his first point since moving out to the right wing to play alongside Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt on New Jersey's top line. The assist snapped a six-game drought and gives Mercer a solid outlook in fantasy moving forward if he continues to see a high volume of minutes. He is on pace to post his first 40-plus point campaign since the 2022-23 season.

The 24-year-old center has 10 goals and 20 points in 25 contests as he steams toward a career-best campaign.

Devils' Dawson Mercer: Tallies in overtime win
Mercer scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
