Dumba (lower body) was scratched for the second game in a row Tuesday against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

It's uncertain how long Dumba will be sidelined so fantasy owners will want to keep him reserved until he can officially make his way back into the lineup. He has taken a big step forward in his development this season and is worth using in most pools of 12 or more teams as a depth option.

Dumba (lower body) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's tilt with Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

The team still hasn't given an update as to the nature of Dumba's injury and how long it could potentially keep him out. Dumba has shown a lot of growth in his game during 2016-17, with his time-on-ice and offensive production making sizable leaps. Check back after Tuesday's morning skate, when further information on Dumba's status should be given.

Dumba will miss Sunday's contest against Detroit due to a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

The blueliner has been productive on both ends this year with a plus-24 rating as well as 24 points in 54 games, so his absence will hurt a Minnesota team that ranks fourth in the league in goals per game with 3.30. He is also a major player on the power play, averaging 2:16 per game on the advantage, and his loss will be felt on special teams as well.

Dumba had two assists in Saturday's win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba hasn't been a massive offensive producer this season, but he's only two points shy of his career high and has been a very valuable asset for the Wild. Dumba logs heavy minutes, plays on the power play, has racked up 41 PIM and is sporting a plus-23 rating, so there's a lot to like fantasy-wise. The 22-year-old doesn't tear up the scoresheet, but he's on the rise and his steady production in multiple fantasy categories makes him worth owning in most leagues.

Dumba handed out a hat trick of assists -- one on the power play -- and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-1 whitewashing of the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners waiting for a full-on breakout have thus far been disappointed by the 22-year-old blueliner, who's already in his fourth NHL season, but he's clearly making steady progress. With 19 points on his line through 40 games, he's only seven shy of last season's career-best total, which took 81 contests to achieve. He also owns a plus-17 rating thanks to playing in front of the NHL's best goaltender in Devan Dubnyk, and he hasn't been afraid to land in the penalty box either (39 PIM, already a career high). That all adds up to Dumba's highest fantasy value ever -- he certainly hasn't yet reached elite status, but he's still a credible play in a wide variety of fantasy formats at this point.

Dumba notched two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

He's quietly been producing lately, notching six points as well as a plus-7 rating over the last eight games. The ice time's still a bit slender, but Dumba does see regular power-play minutes, and neither his shooting ability nor his pedigree are in doubt. The 22-year-old has all the talent for a major breakout, but he's only an upside depth play for fantasy purposes at this point.

Dumba scored his sixth goal of the season, and second in consecutive games, in Sunday's win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba was taken off the power play two games ago, but he's been back on the last two games. The one-game man advantage benching seems to have helped him as he has two goals, four shots on goal and is plus-2 in his last three games.

Dumba scored an even-strength goal and finished with two shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating during Friday's win over Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

This is the cross-category production fantasy owners are counting on from Dumba. However, his role has been inconsistent of late, which has really hurt his upside. The 22-year-old defenseman is likely best left to deep seasonal leagues and used as a low-priced flier in daily contests, but Dumba owns the potential to climb the fantasy ranks in a hurry and is worth keeping tabs on.

Dumba had just one shot on goal in 18:19 of ice time in Wednesday's win over Toronto. He didn't play on the power play as he was replaced by Jason Pominville on the second power-play unit, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild's power play is in an 0-for-9 slump, so Dumba may continue to miss power play ice time until things turn around. Dumba's big shot on the power play is a key to his upside, so this hurts his fantasy value. Many expected Dumba to have a breakout season, but he's on the same pace for points per game as last year. He has two goals and six assists in 25 games.

Dumba played the hero Sunday, delivering the overtime goal in a 2-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The young blueliner sniped his second tally of the season 3:57 into the overtime frame, snapping a six-game point drought. Through 14 games, Dumba now has five points to go with a plus-4 rating and 28 shots on goal, which still leaves quite a bit to be desired for those owners hoping that 2016-17 will be the year that the 2012 seventh-overall pick finally breaks out.
