Dumba (upper body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to when Dumba last played Dec. 8, so he can be activated whenever he is healthy. Dumba has an assist, 19 PIM, 31 hits and 16 blocks in 19 appearances in 2024-25. When available, the 30-year-old blueliner will likely serve on the third pairing.

Dumba (upper body) will not play Saturday against St. Louis, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will miss his second straight game as coach Peter DeBoer said Friday that Dumba is not week-to-week but he is not day-to-day. Dumba has one assist in 19 games this season. He was replaced by Lian Bichsel on Thursday and the 20-year-old defenseman potted his first goal in his NHL debut.

Dumba (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Predators, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba suffered an upper-body injury Sunday against Calgary that also forced him to miss practice Wednesday. It's not yet clear how long he'll be sidelined, but he'll be unavailable for at least one game, while Lian Bichsel is slated to draw into the lineup to make his NHL debut Thursday.

Dumba didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an upper-body injury, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba apparently sustained an injury during Sunday's win over Calgary, and he underwent further testing instead of practicing Wednesday. Head coach Peter DeBoer called Dumba's absence from practice a precautionary measure, but it's unclear whether he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Predators.

Dumba logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba has been back for nearly a month since he missed four games with a lower-body injury, and this was his first point over 10 outings in that span. He didn't get on the scoresheet in either of his first two appearances, and the lack of offense saw him spend two games as a healthy scratch last week. Dumba has added 20 hits, 17 PIM, 12 blocked shots, 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 12 contests this season, playing mainly in a bottom-four role. He could have some safety for playing time if Nils Lundkvist (lower body) misses time after exiting early Wednesday.

Dumba (lower body) will play Tuesday against Buffalo after being activated from injured reserve, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a four-game absence, Dumba will replace Brendan Smith in the lineup. The 30-year-old Dumba hasn't earned a point in two appearances this campaign while providing two blocked shots and four hits.

Dumba (lower body) will join the Stars for their upcoming two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba has missed four games due to his lower-body injury but could be back on the ice soon. In his two appearances this year, the 30-year-old blueliner failed to get onto the scoresheet while registering four hits, two blocked shots and four PIM. He played alongside Miro Heiskanen at even strength before his injury, so Dumba would likely return to a top-four role when ready. In order to return to action, Dumba will need to first be activated off injured reserve.

Dumba (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba suffered the injury a week ago against the Islanders and is considered week-to-week. In a corresponding move, the Stars recalled Matej Blumel from AHL Texas because center Sam Steel (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's contest against Edmonton, and Tyler Seguin (lower body) is unavailable.

Dumba (lower body) won't need surgery but is considered week-to-week, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Dumba on the shelf, the team called up Alex Petrovic from the minors in order to bolster its defensive depth. Still, it's Nils Lundkvist who figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time without Dumba on the blue line. Given his recovery timeline, Dumba will likely wind up on injured reserve sooner rather than later.

Dumba (lower body) is set to undergo imaging and will be re-evaluated Monday, effectively ruling him out for Sunday's game versus the Kraken, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba was injured in the first period of Saturday's game against the Islanders. With the 30-year-old defenseman out of action Sunday, look for Brendan Smith to take on a third-pairing role, while Thomas Harley could jump onto the first pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen.
