Dumba dished out an assist during a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
As Minnesota seeks to nail down a playoff spot in the Western Conference, the 23-year-old has been a consistent force on the blue line. Over the past 20 games Dumba's averaged 24:11 of ice time and pitched in 12 points (one goal, 11 assists), while also going plus-nine and notching 34 hits over the span as well. On the season, Dumba's 36 points (10 goals, 26 assists) is already a career high, and after producing .78 points-per-game in his last three seasons in the WHL, he has the offensive talent to keep improving as the season wanes.

Dumba recorded two assists, four blocked shots and three hits during Monday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The emerging defenseman continues to provide excellent cross-categories for fantasy owners. Dumba is now up to 33 points, 113 shots, 37 PIM, 95 hits, 80 blocked shots and plus-8 rating through 59 games, and barring an injury, he'll cruise to career-best marks in most categories. It's also worth noting that the 23-year-old blueliner is just entering his prime years.

Dumba contributed two assists in a 5-2 win over Vegas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
When Dumba scores, it's going to be an assist more often than not. He's got 19 assists to nine goals and has just two goals in 2018, having failed to find twine in 12 of the Knights' past 13 games. He's an acceptable choice if you're looking for a cheap assist or two in daily leagues, but in most leagues, he isn't a starting option.

Dumba scored twice in Saturday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. He has three points in his last two games.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba is already at nine goals and 24 points in just 45 games, which puts him on pace to deliver his first 40-plus point campaign. His previous best came last season when he delivered 11 goals and 34 points in 76 games.

Dumba recorded a goal, an assist, four shots and a minor penalty during Friday's 4-2 win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old defenseman is beginning to translate his tremendous talent into fantasy results more consistently of late, as he's collected four goals and three assists through his past seven outings. Additionally, with 64 shots, 18 PIM, 59 hits, 53 blocked shots and an even rating, Dumba is tilting the scales across all categories. Expect some offensive peaks and valleys moving forward, but there aren't many settings where Dumba shouldn't be owned.

Dumba scored a goal in a 4-1 loss versus the Blackhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
That's three scores in the last two games, giving him six goals and 17 points in 33 games. Last season, Dumba tallied 11 goals and 34 points, so the 23-year-old defenseman appears well on his way to setting multiple career highs. Most impressively, all of his production except three assists have come at even strength.

Dumba scored both Minnesota goals in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba's game continues its ascension. He has 16 points in 32 games and that puts him on a pace to top 40 points for the first time in his career. Use him well.

Dumba scored the game-winning goal and posted six shots on net in a 3-2 overtime victory against the Ducks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal is only his third of the season, but it was his second game-winner, which gives him more than last season and just one fewer than his career high. Dumba didn't have any shots on goal in his last game, but he does have a pair of six-shot contests since Nov. 30. That offensive involvement should lead to more goals. He has three scores and 14 points in 28 games this season. In 2016-17, he registered 11 goals and 34 points.

Dumba scored the game-winning goal Saturday in overtime to lift the Wild 2-1 over the Blues. He also picked up an assist.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba is on an upward trajectory in terms of offense -- he's on pace to hit the 40-point park for the first time. But after potting 10 and 11 goals in the past two seasons, respectively, Dumba has scored just twice this season. His shooting percentage is well-below his career average, so expect a re-balancing soon enough.

Dumba received a $5,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct stemming from his squirting water at Joel Armia in Monday night's game against the Jets, Fox Sports North reports.
EDGE Analysis
Justified or not, the Canadian defenseman received the maximum fine under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Fortunately, Dumba's antics won't cost him any games, and fantasy owners can deploy him as normal for Thursday's home contest against the Golden Knights.
