Dumba produced an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba got on the scoresheet for the first time since the Coyotes' season opener. The 29-year-old defenseman hasn't been able to reignite his scoring spark in Arizona, with Sean Durzi and Janis Moser getting most of the good offensive minutes on the Coyotes' blue line. Dumba is at two points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 14 appearances in a top-four role, though he's been under 20 minutes in five straight games.

Dumba (concussion) signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract with Arizona on Sunday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dumba sustained a concussion in Minnesota's season-ending loss to Dallas on April 28, but he could be ready for the start of training camp with his new team. The 29-year-old garnered four goals, 10 assists, 99 shots on net, 116 blocked shots and 104 hits in 79 games last season. Dumba should slot in as a top-four defender for the Coyotes. He could also see action on the power play during the 2023-24 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Dumba has been invisible on offense lately -- his assist Wednesday snapped a 22-game point drought. He has just four helpers over 37 contests since the start of January. The 28-year-old is at 14 points, 90 shots on net, 77 PIM, 104 blocked shots and 94 hits through 73 appearances.
