"Playing in San Jose, I was very fortunate to get a chance to break in there and play a bunch of games and a lot of minutes,"
"I'm excited to be a two-way defenceman. I think I'm reliable in most situations on the ice. I think that's one of my best assets, being versatile, being used on special teams, being used up and down throughout the lineup. There's a lot that I feel I want to show and improve."
Dakota Mermis was placed on injured reserve retroactive to December 8 with a lower-body injury after a knee-on-knee collision with Tampa Bay forward Gage Goncalves, and he left the game immediately. Goncalves received a five-minute major and a game misconduct but no supplementary discipline from the NHL Department of Player Safety. Bobby McMann was suspended one game for high-sticking Oliver Bjorkstrand and will serve the suspension during Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks. Henry Thrun was called up from the AHL's Toronto Marlies and is poised to make his season debut. The team is already missing Chris Tanev and Brandon Carlo, and Morgan Rielly missed practice due to illness, leaving the roster thin for the upcoming contest.
