Dumba played only 7:12 time-on-ice in Monday's victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins before exiting the game with an upper-body injury. The Coyotes recalled Victor Soderstrom from the Tuscon Roadrunners (AHL) on Tuesday, indicating that Dumba could miss some time.

Dumba did not play on Saturday but is expected to return to the Coyotes' lineup on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Dumba has four points (2G / 2A) in 19 games this season and will likely play alongside Travis Dermott on the third defensive pair.

Dumba signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract with Arizona in the offseason but has struggled out of the gate to produce with two goals, two assists, 25 SOG, 24 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus in 19 games and will be a healthy scratch Saturday. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Vladislav Kolyachonok, who is making his season debut.

Dumba had four goals, 10 assists, 99 SOG, 81 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 79 games with Minnesota in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year deal worth $3.9 million with the Arizona Coyotes. The 29-year-old defensemen leaves Minnesota after 10 solid seasons which saw him amass 79 goals, 236 points, 399 PIMs and 1121 SOG throughout 598 career games played.

Dumba has four goals, 10 assists, 95 SOG, 79 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus through 77 games this season but is out Monday as he takes a rest day. He will take a seat as Alex Goligoski and Calen Addison return to the Wild's lineup.

Dumba has been a healthy scratch for the Wilds' previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay as he pairs up with Jonas Brodin. The 28-year-old has four goals, eight assists, 56 SOG, 54 PIMs, and a +3 plus/minus through 43 games prior to being scratched.

Dumba has four goals, eight assists, 54 PIMs and 56 SOG through 43 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Carolina. Dumba is expected back in the lineup soon as head coach Dean Evason claimed “I won’t get into specifics, but he knows why he’s sitting out".

Dumba has been out since April 5th but will play Friday vs. the Avalanche. The Wild are going for home-ice advantage in the first-round, so getting Dumba back should provide a big boost to a Wild blueline that will also be getting Jared Spurgeon back.

Dumba suffered an upper-body injury in Nashville on Tuesday and will not be available on Friday. Head coach Dean Evason said that Dumba's prognosis was “more positive than we anticipated,” so it doesn't look like he'll be sidelined for an extended period of time. Look for Jordie Benn to draw into the lineup in Dumba's place on Friday.

Dumba returned from a two-game absence with an upper-body injury on Saturday but suffered a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday. The Wild did not provide a timeline on Dumba, only saying he will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Jordie Benn will replace him in the lineup vs. Detroit.

Dumba will come out of the lineup for the final game before the All-Star break, so look for him to be replaced by Jon Merrill, who was activated from COVID-19 protocol.
