Travis Dermott, one of the Toronto Maple Leafs top prospects, made his NHL debut.
Dermott is a 21 year old left-shooting defenseman from Newmarket Ontario – which essentially means he’s playing for his home-town team (along with Kadri, and Brown, who are also both from the general Toronto area if you are liberal with the word ‘general’). Dermott was drafted in the second round of the 2015 draft, 34th overall.
This year, playing for the Marlies, he got into 26 games, scored two goals and added 15 assists for 17 total points, putting him just outside the top 20 in defenseman scoring in the AHL.
