EDMONTON — Travis Dermott is back with the Edmonton Oilers.

The club plucked the defenceman off waivers from the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday after having him claimed earlier this season.

The 28-year-old attended Edmonton’s training camp on a professional tryout contract before inking a deal for the 2024-25 campaign at US$775,000 in October.

Dermott had zero points and two penalty minutes in 10 games with the Oilers before getting scooped up by the Wild off waivers Dec. 13.

The Newmarket, Ont., product played nine games with Minnesota before going back on waivers Tuesday.
