Dumba sustained a broken bone in his hand during the series-ending loss to the Blues in the conference quarterfinals, the Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wild GM Chuck Fletcher issued updates on several of his players through a phone interview with Russo on Wednesday, and Dumba's name came up. Per this latest report, it's believed that the blueliner -- who has steadily improved his offensive and defensive numbers since entering the league in the 2013-14 season -- suffered the injury after blocking a shot. Rumors are swirling that Dumba, who will be entering a contract year at $2.55 million, could end up being dealt ahead of the Las Vegas expansion draft.

Dumba recorded a power-play assist and six shots in 21:36 of ice time during a 3-1 victory against the Coyotes on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old defenseman ended the regular season scoring six points in the final seven contests. Despite playing fewer games than last season, he set career highs with 11 goals, 34 points and a plus-15 rating. Something to be wary of for next season, though Dumba finished with fewer than 20 shots than 2015-16. His shooting percentage rising almost 2.0 percent was the main reason he surpassed his career total in goals.

Dumba scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. The goal came on the power play.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba is now one goal from double digits, something he did for the first time last season. His 28 points in 64 games are a career mark and he's heating up a bit -- Dumba has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last six games. That's worthy of activation in most formats.

Dumba (illness) will return to the lineup for Friday night's away game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba missed just two games while sick and is projected to slot onto Minnesota's second defensive pairing alongside Jonas Brodin. Dumba hasn't been especially sharp from the blue line of late, notching just one assist and a concerning minus-6 rating in his last five games before falling ill, so it will be interesting to see if he can bounce back after a couple games off.

Dumba (illness) won't play Thursday against Tampa Bay, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will miss a second consecutive game Thursday due to an illness, and the Wild have yet to release any information regarding a potential timetable for the blueliner's return to the lineup. Nate Prosser will continue to slot into a bottom-pairing role to round out Minnesota's depth at defense while Dumba is in recovery mode.

Dumba (undisclosed) was not on the ice in warmups for a Tuesday's contest with the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will be sitting out for Tuesday's contest, and it is unclear what his status will be heading into the Wild's upcoming five-game road trip. The 22-year-old defenseman is one point away from tying last season's career high of 26 points. Stay tuned for updates on whether this mystery absence will continue.

Dumba (lower body) was paired with Marco Scandella in warmups and will play Tuesday against Chicago, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The first-round pick will return from a lower body injury for a rivalry game against the Blackhawks. Over 18 games in 2017, Dumba has scored two goals and recorded seven assists. In these games, the 22-year-old defenseman played 20:40 a game, complemented by substantial power-play ice time as well. Dumba will be return to duty in the defensive rotation as well as the power play, so expect business as usual in Minnesota.

Dumba (lower body) feels ready to play Tuesday against Chicago, though he is yet to be officially cleared.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba has missed the team's last four games while dealing with both an illness and this injury. While Dumba's playing status hasn't been confirmed, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports that the 22-year-old defenseman was taking line rushes with other members of the top six, making him a probability for Tuesday.

Dumba (lower body) has been making progress with a possible return coming against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba's chances of facing Chicago reportedly hinge on whether he can turn in a "good practice" Monday. We're talking about a cross-category contributor -- he's accumulated 24 points with a plus-24 rating in 54 games -- whose value is on the rise, so it'll be worth tracking his recovery all the way through if you need help on the blue line for your virtual club.

Dumba (lower body) was absent from practice Wednesday with an illness.

EDGE Analysis

According to coach Bruce Boudreau, Dumba's illness, combined with a lower-body injury, will likely keep him sidelined until after the team returns from their bye week, which would be Feb. 27 against Los Angeles at the earliest. The 22-year-old as already missed a pair of outings and this news likely rules him out for at least the next three. The Saskatchewan native has been a nice addition to Minnesota's blue line -- seven goals and 17 assists this season -- and needs just two more points to tie his offensive numbers from his rookie campaign.
