Dumba (lower body) posted three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the Wild's season being paused for a COVID-19 outbreak, Dumba only ended up missing two games with his injury. The Wild had just two of their preferred top-six defensemen in the lineup Tuesday, as Dumba and Ryan Suter were the experienced veterans on the blue line. Dumba skated 24:16 in the contest. The 26-year-old now has four points, 28 shots, 19 hits and 11 blocked shots through 10 appearances, and he should continue to be featured heavily until the Wild are back at full health.

Dumba (lower body) practiced Friday and is expected to be ready for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Sarah McLellan of the Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team's season is currently paused due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the players, but the Wild are aiming to restart Tuesday. Dumba should be ready to join them, as he skated at full speed during Friday's practice. He should have ample time to get his conditioning up to par, so he'll likely resume his typical role on the top pairing. Through the first nine games, the 26-year-old posted four points and 25 shots on net.

Wild GM Bill Guerin said Monday that Dumba (lower body) could start skating next week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba is on injured reserve and has missed the last two games, as the Wild are on pause due to COVID-19 concerns. Once he returns to the ice, the team should have a better idea of his timeline to return. Fantasy managers should keep him stashed, as the 26-year-old posted four points and 25 shots on net through nine games before getting hurt.

Dumba (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba left Saturday's loss to the Avalanche with an apparent leg injury, but the Wild have simply labeled it as a lower-body issue. Nevertheless, he'll be required to miss at least a week while on IR, meaning his next chance to play is Feb. 6 against the Coyotes. Dakota Mermis and Matt Bartkowski will fill in on the blue line until Dumba returns.

Dumba scored a goal on four shots and dished out two hits Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba opened the scoring just 21 seconds into the game when his attempt to throw the puck in front from below the goal line bounced off both Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick and a Kings' defenseman and into the net. It was the first goal of the year for Dumba, who collected an assist in the season opener. The 26-year-old posted just 24 points in 69 games last season, his lowest output since his rookie campaign.

Dumba posted an assist and five shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba had the secondary helper on Victor Rask's third-period tally. The five shots from Dumba were the most by a Wild blueliner in the contest. The 26-year-old is set for first-pairing duties in 2020-21, and he'll try to bounce back after posting only 24 points with 98 hits in 69 appearances last season.

EDGE Analysis
Dumba set up Kevin Fiala's second goal with 8.3 seconds left in regulation. It's the first point of the playoffs for Dumba, who should continue to see all-situations usage as a top-four defenseman for the Wild.
