Dumba registered a power-play assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba had a solid game overall, but he also missed a wide-open net in the third period. The helper snapped a 14-game point drought for the blueliner, who now has 10 points in 35 contests. It's a far cry from the 50-point breakout campaign he had in 2017-18. Dumba has added 59 hits, 47 blocks, 31 PIM and 79 shots on goal this year.

Dumba (undisclosed) is in the projected lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Bruins, NHL.com's Matt Kalman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba missed the final period of Thursday's win over the Avalanche, but he appears to be fine after partaking in Saturday's morning skate. The 25-year-old blueliner is logging nearly 23 minutes per game -- including manning the top power-play unit -- and he's recorded nine points over 22 contests.

Dumba didn't skate in the third period of Thursday's game against the Avalanche due to an undisclosed injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba toughed it out throughout the game, playing through obvious pain. Though it's deemed undisclosed, the veteran tripped late in the second period, and was clearly laboring due to a lower-body issue. His status is uncertain as the team heads into a three-game road trip.

Dumba (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday against Colorado, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba suffered an undisclosed injury during Tuesday's win over Buffalo, but whatever he's dealing with evidently isn't serious enough to keep him sidelined against the Avalanche. The 25-year-old will slot into his usual role skating on Minnesota's second pairing and top power-play unit Thursday.

Dumba is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will be a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with Colorado, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specific nature of Dumba's issue remains a mystery, but the fact that he'll be a game-time call for Thursday's contest suggests whatever he's dealing with likely isn't overly serious. If Dumba's unable to go, Nick Seeler will draw into the lineup against the Avalanche.

Dumba potted his third goal of the year in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba picked off a clearing attempt by the Kings and deflected it off Ben Hutton for the Wild's only goal in the game. The 25-year-old has scored in consecutive games, giving him eight points and a minus-13 rating in 18 contests this year. Dumba's added 32 hits, 22 blocked shots and 39 shots on goal.

Dumba scored a goal on two shots and dished a pair of hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba's goal with 50 seconds left in the second period tied the game at 3-3 after the Wild had twice trailed by two goals. It was the second goal of the season for Dumba and his first since the season opener, snapping a brutal 15-game drought. The 25-year-old has provided between 10-14 goals in each of the previous four seasons and was a 50-point man in 2017-18, so the slow start to the season is disappointing.

Dumba collected two assists and added three shots and two PIM in a 5-1 win over the Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba assisted on goals by Gerald Mayhew and Joel Eriksson Ek in the first and third periods, respectively, giving him four helpers in his last four games. The bad news is Dumba has now gone 10 straight games without scoring a goal, a pretty lengthy skid for a defenseman who had averaged about 12 goals over the previous four seasons. He's bound to start finding the net sooner than later.

Dumba drew an assist on Brad Hunt's power-play goal to help the Wild defeat the Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba had gone five games without a point before finding the assist column in Sunday's win. He's coming off a 2018-19 campaign that saw him play 34 games and finish with 22 points. Assuming he stays healthy, Dumba should wind up in the 40 to 50-point range this season. It all rides on his ability to remain on the ice.
