Dumba scored a goal and had three shots on net in 25:24 of ice time in Thursday's season-opening loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba picked up right where he left off before his season-ending biceps injury last December, when he was averaging a career-high 0.69 points per game over 32 games. He'll be a mainstay on the power play again in 2019-20 -- he had 2:05 of ice time on the man advantage Thursday.

Dumba had five shots on goal and two hits in 26:57 of ice time in Tuesday's preseason loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old is coming off a pectoral injury that forced him to miss more than half the season in 2018-19. His return for Minnesota's first preseason game shows he's back to full strength and the Wild are not concerned about his health. He returned to his usual spot on the power play, as well.

Dumba (illness) was back on the ice Sunday, participating in the team's scrimmage, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba was forced to miss practice Saturday due to the ailment, but as evidenced by this news, has shaken it off. The 25-year-old is coming off a pectoral injury that forced him to miss more than half the season in 2018-19, and he's expected to settle into a top-four defensive role in the upcoming campaign.

Dumba missed Saturday's practice due to an illness, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba was just deemed ready for training camp Thursday, but he's facing a setback with this illness. The 25-year-old blueliner isn't expected to face a long-term absence, but the illness may affect his availability for the team's first exhibition game versus the Stars on Tuesday.

Dumba (pectoral) proclaimed himself "good to go" for the start of training camp Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba missed the last 50 games of last season due to a torn pectoral muscle. He's been working out all summer and it doesn't appear he'll have any major restrictions at the start of training camp.

Dumba (pectoral) should be ready for training camp, according to Wild GM Paul Fenton.

EDGE Analysis

A ruptured right pectoralis muscle wiped out 50 games from Dumba's 2018-19 campaign and ultimately required surgery. The 24-year-old defenseman -- who has been universally owned in fantasy games when healthy -- finished with 12 goals, 10 assists and 12 power-play points through 32 contests.

Dumba (pectoral) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba is expected to be out until late March with an injury that stems from his fight against Matthew Tkachuk in a Dec. 15 contest against the Flames. The Wild waited several weeks before placing Dumba on IR, but now that he's surfaced on that list, the Wild are free to call up another player from AHL Iowa.

Dumba had surgery Wednesday to repair a ruptured right pectoralis muscle and is expected to miss a minimum of three months.

EDGE Analysis

Following weeks of speculation, the specifics surrounding Dumba's injury were made public Wednesday, as the team announced that the defenseman had had surgery to repair a pectoral muscle. The procedure, according to team doctors, is expected to keep Dumba on the shelf for a minimum of three months, all but ending his 2018-19 season. If Minnesota can climb up the standings enough to land in a playoff spot before season's end, Dumba could return for the playoffs, but a postseason berth for the Wild seems unlikely at this point. The 24-year-old was in the midst of a fine season in which he was averaging 0.69 points per game, a career high.

Dumba will have surgery to address his upper-body injury. According to general manager Paul Fenton, "He's expected to have surgery next week...he will be out for a significant time."

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the club is unwilling to provide specifics on the nature or extent of Dumba's injury, so it's hard to know how long a "significant time" will be. In the meantime, we expect the defenseman to be placed on injured reserve in short order and will have to wait until after his surgery to see if the club announces a more definitive timetable.

Dumba (upper body) is expected to miss "significant" time due to an upper-body injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba's was initially expected to miss a week at a minimum, but Russo's report suggests it's an absence that will last weeks or even months.
