Dermott initially went to the locker room late in the first period, but returned during the second. The 26-year-old was ruled then out for the remainder of the game during the second intermission.

The Newmarket, Ont., native returned to the team back on Dec. 29 after missing a majority of the season with a concussion.

If Dermott won't be able to play in Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers, Oliver Ekman-Larsson would be an option to draw in after being a healthy scratch.
