Antoine Vermette netted the lone goal for the Coyotes in their 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Thursday night.
Vermette ended a five-game pointless skid. For a player receiving as much ice time as he does, Vermette doesn't produce at a top-six-forward rate. He has just seven goals and 14 points in 31 games this year. Radim Vrbata and Oliver Ekman-Larsson had the assists. Mar 22 - 12:56 AM

Antoine Vermette scored his fourth goal and added his fourth assist of the season in the Phoenix Coyotes 4-0 win over the Calgary Flames.

While he flashes the skill he has on nights like these, his career numbers have him miscast in a top six role. There was a time where Vermette was projected as one, but since he's 30 those days are long gone. However, the Coyotes severe lack of skill in the forward department has him in one. He now has eight points in 16 games and the opportunity to put up good numbers but so far he hasn't delivered on a consistent basis. Keep an eye on him for waiver wire purposes if he goes on a mini hot streak but other than that he's a dime a dozen player.

Antoine Vermette has three goals and five points in eight games this season.

Vermette has gotten some playing time with Steve Sullivan. Vermette is also getting plenty of power-play ice time, which makes him a decent bet to maintain his current pace.

The transition from Columbus to Phoenix for Antoine Vermette has been a pretty smooth one.

Vermette had 10 points in 22 regular season games with the Coyotes after he was acquired near the trade deadline, but he's gotten more comfortable since he's been in Phoenix, tallying five goals and 10 points in the playoffs. "[General manager] Don [Maloney] did a lot of homework on him, not just watch a lot of video of him playing, but a lot of homework on his personality, coach Dave Tippett said. "We always talk about we need players that are going to fit well into our group. Everything Don heard about Antoine was very good, very good teammate. Sometimes, you get players that are outcasts in the dressing room. That wasn't the case. He was at the forefront of leadership, things he was trying to do. Good experience with the playoffs with Ottawa. We felt it was a player that fit well into our group, personality and play-wise."

Antoine Vermette had an assist in a 2-0 victory on Sunday.

Vermette and the Coyotes managed to stave off elimination, but the Kings still have a commanding 3-1 series lead. Vermette, who the Coyotes acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets, has been a major factor in the playoffs with five goals and a team-leading 10 points in 15 games.

The Phoenix Coyotes didn't provide much in fantasy terms in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, but they did fill up one category: penalty minutes.

Shane Doan (15 PIMs) and Martin Hanzal (15 PIMs) lead the way while Antoine Vermette (12 PIMs) won't have to worry as much about league discipline. Derek Morris' knee-to-knee hit floated under the radar while players like Ray Whitney and Radim Vrbata have been disappointing offensively. Overall, the Coyotes have only scored two goals so far in this series.

Antoine Vermette leads all Phoenix players in scoring this spring with five goals and nine points in 11 playoff contests.

After joining the Coyotes in a deal with Columbus, he contributed just three goals and 10 points in 22 regular season appearances. Vermette has also been excellent on faceoffs with a 58.4 winning percentage on 178 total draws. He has centered a productive line between captain Shane Doan and emerging winger Mikkel Boedker and the trio will be looked upon to provide more offensive support in Round 3 versus Los Angeles.

Antoine Vermette has been just what Phoenix wanted when it acquired him at the trade deadline -- and much more.

It was a move that really didn't get a lot of fanfare, but Vermette has had a huge impact in the second-round series, one that the Coyotes lead 2-0. Vermette's eight points ranks him top five in the postseason and four of his five goals have been the go-ahead variety, tops in the league. "To say it's been a great deal for us is an understatement," general manager Don Maloney said. "He has fit in seamlessly with the team."

Antoine Vermette scored a goal and added an assist for Phoenix as the Coyotes knocked off Nashville by a score of 5-3 Sunday.

Despite getting off to a slow start with his new club in the regular season, Vermette has paid dividends with eight points in as many games in the postseason. Shane Doan and Radim Vrbata also notched a goal and an assist while Taylor Pyatt and Martin Hanzal both found the back of the net in the victory.

Antoine Vermette led the Coyotes in the first round with four goals.

He was acquired at the trade deadline from the Columbus Blue Jackets and his offensive prowess was needed as the Coyotes top line of Radim Vrbata, Martin Hanzal and Ray Whitney didn't find the back of net as often as the regular season. Vermette has been a nice addition and gives the Coyotes something they need: scoring.

Antoine Vermette's power-play goal left no doubt that the Coyotes would win their first-ever playoff series.

Vermette’s fourth goal of the series was no small footnote. It came on a 5-minute power play with Chicago’s Jimmy Hayes having been whistled for a major (and game misconduct) for boarding Michal Rozsival. The goal came at 13:04 of the third period and gave the Coyotes a 3-0 lead and essentially put the final nail in the Blackhawks’ coffin.

Antoine Vermette notched two power-play goals, but the Phoenix Coyotes fell 4-3 in overtime to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night as their first-round series evened up at one.

The Coyotes' trade to acquire Vermette didn't really do much to buoy a mediocre offense during the regular season as he had just three goals in 22 games, but the center has come up big this postseason with three goals already. Raffi Torres potted the other marker. Keith Yandle had two assists, while Shane Doan, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Derek Morris all chipped in with one.

Antoine Vermette had a goal and two assists in a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.

Shane Doan and Oliver Ekman-Larsson each had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes. Gilbert Brule and Rostislav Klesla netted the other two Phoenix goals. Ray Whitney registered three assists, giving him 65 points in 71 games this season.

Antoine Vermette potted his first goal in seven games for Phoenix since he was traded by Columbus last month.

Phoenix has been giving Vermette a chance to center a line featuring Shane Doan and Lauri Korpikoski. He’s someone to watch in very deep leagues as he has been known to go on scoring runs.

The Coyotes are giving Antoine Vermette a chance to center a line featuring Shane Doan and Lauri Korpikoski.

Although he has not registered a point in five games as a Coyote, Vermette was on the ice for a goal against the Blue Jackets Saturday night. This is a good gig for him if he can keep it. Watch Vermette as he has been known to go on scoring runs.
