Travis Dermott Promoted To First Defensive Pairing
3 years agoToronto Maple Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott will get a chance to skate with Morgan Rielly in Saturday's meeting with the Red Wings. The 24-year-old was a healthy scratch just a few games ago but now gets a big opportunity to impress. Dermott has only one point in seven appearances this season with 10 shots, seven hits and three blocks. He's averaged just a little over 13 and a half minutes of action but will get a lot more on the top defensive pairing. T.J. Brodie drops down to the second pairing to skate with Jake Muzzin, while Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren make up the third pairing.
