The 21-year-old Dermott recently was named to the AHL All Star team for his contributions in the first half of the AHL season, during which he amassed 17 points – 13 of which have come in the last 10 games – and a plus-15 in 26 games. Prior to this callup, Dermott recorded two consecutive three-point games after returning from injury; in both games, he was taking his regular shift on the right side next to Andrew Nielsen.
Dermott currently sits 9th among AHL defencemen in even-strength points per 60 and second in the category among under-23 blueliners.
