Dewar scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar had been held off the scoresheet in the first three games of December before scoring Friday. He's registered at least one point in just five of 25 contests this season, but one of those outings was a four-point effort. The 24-year-old has six tallies, two helpers, 26 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-2 rating while playing mostly in a fourth-line role.

Dewar had a hat trick and an assist in Minnesota's 6-1 win over Nashville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This wasn't just Dewar's first career hat trick, it was also the first multi-goal game he's ever recorded at the NHL level. Going into Thursday's contest, he had just 10 goals through 136 career outings, including two markers and an assist in 20 contests this year. In other words, he more than doubled his goal and point totals for the 2023-24 campaign in a single night. While it's a great story, Dewar serves primarily in a fourth-line role and rarely sees time on the power play, so unless that changes, the 24-year-old is still unlikely to be a significant offensive contributor this season.

Dewar scored a short-handed goal on one shot in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar recorded three short-handed goals last season which accounted for half of his season-long goal total. Still, the 24-year-old center has notched two points to open the 2023-24 campaign despite averaging just 12:34 of ice time. With his strong start to the season, Dewar could top the 20-point threshold for the first time in his three-year NHL career.

Dewar posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar has three points over his last two games since he snapped a 23-game slump. The 23-year-old forward helped out on a Ryan Reaves goal in the third period. It's too little to say Dewar's offense has turned a corner, especially since he's still on the fourth line. He's at 16 points, 71 shots on net, 108 hits, 44 blocks, 39 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 67 outings.

Dewar scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar went nearly two months without getting on the scoresheet -- his most recent contribution before Sunday was a two-assist effort Jan. 17 versus the Capitals. The fourth-liner provides solid grit, but he's not been much of a scoring threat this season. He's at six goals, nine assists, 71 shots on net, 106 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 66 appearances.

Dewar posted two assists and was a plus-2 rating in the Wild's 4-2 victory over the Capitals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar picked up assists on Jonas Brodin's tying goal and Jared Spurgeon's game-winning goal. This performance snaps Dewar's pointless streak at 10 games and is his second multi-point game of the season. On the campaign, Dewar has five goals and 13 points in 42 games.

Dewar scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar ended his four-game point drought at 16:03 of the second period, tying the game at 1-1. He's scored four of his five goals this season in December. The 23-year-old fourth-liner is up to 11 points, 34 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 31 contests. He doesn't see much power-play time, but four of his points have come while shorthanded.

Dewar scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Dewar tallied in the second period, continuing what's been a strong December for the bottom-six forward. He has three goals and two assists in six games this month, which has doubled his point total for the season. He's up to four tallies, six helpers, 32 shots on net, 45 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 26 outings overall.
