The New Jersey Devils are coming off a big win against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, but once again, they did not get a goal from Dawson Mercer. After nine games, he's goalless and needs a jump start offensively.
Writer Nick Villano argues that the New Jersey Devils need significantly more offensive production from forward Dawson Mercer following their 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Despite the team's strong analytic play and 5-4 start to the season, Mercer remains goalless through nine games, managing only four assists while being shuffled across line assignments.
Villano notes that after previously scoring 27 goals in the 2022-23 season, Mercer's output has regressed rather than improved. Currently skating alongside Anthony Mantha and Evan Rodrigues, the writer asserts that Mercer must learn to produce effectively in a bottom-six role to avoid further trade speculation.
