Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (upper body) will miss a second straight game on Saturday versus St. Louis. He might be out for a few more games after the weekend as well, with Stars head coach Peter DeBoer noting that Dumba is "not week-to-week but not day-to-day," Dumba has zero fantasy value these days, as he's only recorded one assist in 19 games this season. Lian Bichsel entered the lineup in Dumba's absence on Thursday versus Nashville and scored in his NHL debut. He also recorded a game-high five hits and two shots with two penalty minutes in 15:46 of ice time.
Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba will re-enter the lineup for Monday's matchup against Utah. The veteran has sat out two games as a healthy scratch. Dumba has posted nearly 250 career points, but his fantasy stock is at an all-time low. In 15 outings this season, he's managed just one assist with 14 shots, 14 blocks, and 27 hits. Dumba will join Thomas Harley on the second defensive pairing, with Alexander Petrovic exiting the lineup.
Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve earlier on Saturday. In a corresponding move, the Stars promoted Matej Blumel from the AHL Texas Stars. Dumba suffered this injury this injury last week and was initially deemed to be "week-to-week." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. As a result, Brendan Smith will likely remain in the starting lineup as the replacement option for the time being. In addition, 23-year-old Thomas Harley has begun to cover the top pair with Miro Heiskanen in Dumba's absence. In his past three games, Harley has logged over two minutes of power-play time in each game with one total assist and could be worth a look as a streaming option for the time being.
Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He was injured in the second game of the season and will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest on Tuesday versus San Jose. Unfortunately for the veteran, his absence won't be limited to only a few games, as Stars head coach Peter DeBoer expects Dumba to be out for the "foreseeable future." Brendan Smith replaced Dumba in the lineup on Sunday against Seattle, and the team also called up Alex Petrovic from the minors as an extra defensive option.
Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (lower body) will not play in Sunday's matchup against Seattle and is considered day-to-day. He will be evaluated further on Monday after Dumba suffered a lower-body injury versus the Islanders on Saturday. Dumba has partnered Miro Heiskanen on the top defensive pairing in his first games with the Stars. Brendan Smith is set to replace Dumba in the lineup on Sunday, and a reconfiguration of the defensive pairs is expected. Esa Lindell and Thomas Harley saw extra usage next to Heiskanen on Saturday and will be asked to step up again versus the Kraken.
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Matt Dumba will not re-sign with the team and is hitting the open market this offseason. After inking a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes last summer, Dumba finished the 2023-24 campaign with the Lightning, playing in 23 contests. However, the Lightning have just re-acquired Ryan McDonagh, who carries a $6.75 million cap hit, and the team can't afford to extend Dumba with Steven Stamkos still unsigned. After breaking out for a 50-point campaign in 2017-18, Dumba's offensive numbers have steadily declined. He recorded 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 72 regular-season games this term, with 86 shots on goal, 108 blocks, and 202 hits.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Matt Dumba (upper body) is out week-to-week, according to head coach Andre Tourigny. Dumba was hurt early in the first period of Monday's 5-2 win over the Penguins and did not return. He isn't traveling with the team on their current three-game road trip through Florida, Tampa Bay, and Carolina, but he will get a lengthy amount of time off with a bye week and the All-Star break upcoming. "He is not on the trip and then after, we're on the break so I can say it is week to week or whatever it is," Tourigny said. It's been a difficult offensive season for the veteran, who has just two goals and five points along with a minus-10 rating across 44 games this season, his first in Arizona after spending 10 seasons with the Minnesota Wild.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Matt Dumba exited Monday's game against Pittsburgh with an upper-body injury. He logged 7:12 of action in the clash, posting one shot on goal. It was Dumba's 14th straight game without a point. He's logged only five points (two goals, three assists) in total across 44 games, which is a very disappointing return for a player whose career-high stands at 50 points. However, Dumba is second on the team with 84 hits and third with 61 blocks, so his presence will definitely be missed if the 29-year-old has to sit out some time. Arizona returns to action on Wednesday versus Florida.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba will rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Tampa Bay. He has been a healthy scratch for the past two games. Wild head coach Dave Evason will be hoping that getting scratched for multiple games will be a wake-up call for Dumba, who has been sleepwalking through the campaign. In 43 games, Dumba has picked up only 12 points with 56 shots, 58 hits and 64 blocks. Alex Goligoski filled in for Dumba in the last two games but will now come out of the lineup again. Winger Marcus Foligno (illness) is also expected back Tuesday.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba will sit out Thursday's clash with Carolina as a healthy scratch. Dumba has struggled to perform offensively this season and head coach Dave Evason is now giving him a night off for him to possibly get a reset. The 28-year-old has tallied only 12 points in 43 games. He has also recorded 56 shots on goal with 58 hits and 64 blocks. Alex Goligoski will take Dumba's spot in the lineup for only his second game since the turn of the year.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Friday against St. Louis. The 27-year-old appeared to have hurt his right shoulder on Tuesday against Nashville and is forced to spend some time on the sidelines. The team initially feared the worst, but head coach Dean Evason noted on Thursday that the injury is not as serious as originally expected. Dumba is set to be re-evaluated again after Friday. He's been a very valuable piece for the team on the blue line and Evason no doubt hopes to get him back as soon as possible. Dumba averages the second-most minutes on the team with 23:10, has picked up 26 points in 56 games this season, and also boasts 113 hits and 83 blocks. With Jon Merrill (upper body) still out as well, Evason has a lot of thinking to do ahead of Friday's contest.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba wasn't able to finish Tuesday's game against Nashville after he picked up an upper-body injury. He managed to log just 9:37 of ice time before exiting, and it looks like we might not see him for a while. It's been reported that Dumba's injury could be quite serious and there's a chance that it leads to an extended period on the sidelines. The Wild are set to lose a guy who plays over 23 minutes a night and whose work this season includes 26 points and 113 hits with 83 blocks in 56 appearances.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba (lower body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's clash with St. Louis. The 26-year-old blueliner missed three games after getting hurt in last Thursday's 5-1 loss to Colorado. Dumba has posted 11 points, 59 shots, 41 hits and 35 blocks with a plus-seven rating in 26 games this season. He's been a bit quiet offensively but has made up for it in other categories. His return is great news for fantasy managers and the Wild, whose only key absentee is now Zach Parise (COVID protocols), who will miss a second consecutive game.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba has been listed as questionable to suit up for his team's matinee matchup with the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The 26-year-old is currently dealing with a lower-body injury after an awkward fall in the Wild's loss to the Avalanche on Thursday. Dumba has registered 11 points (five goals, six assists), a plus-seven rating, 59 shots and 41 hits in 26 games in 2020-2021. Expect blueliner Carson Soucy to jump back into the lineup if Dumba is sidelined.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba has been placed on Injured Reserve on Monday after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's contest versus the Colorado Avalanche. The 26-year-old hobbled off the ice in the third period after appearing to have his right leg bend underneath him in an awkward fall to the ice. Prior to the injury, Dumba had contributed four points (three goals, one assists), 25 shots, nine blocks and 18 hits in nine games played. Expect defenseman Jonas Brodin (7% rostered in Yahoo leagues) to take Dumba's place on the Wild's top power-play unit and try to play a bigger role offensively at even-strength.
