Dumba (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with Calgary but may still be an option against Colorado on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will be shelved for his 12th consecutive contest but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. In total, the 27-year-old blueliner has logged just 56 games this year which will likely stop him from reaching the 30-point threshold for the fourth consecutive year. At this point, Dumba's 50-point 2017-18 campaign was the exception rather than the rule.

Dumba (upper body) remains sidelined and will not play Tuesday against visiting Arizona, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will miss his 11th straight game. With only two contests left on the Wild's regular-season docket, it's looking increasingly less likely that he'll be able to get any tune-up action in before the postseason. The 27-year-old still doesn't have a timetable for a return.

Dumba (upper body) is expected to return during the regular season, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will miss his 10th straight game Sunday against the Predators and his return timeline has been murky at best recently. After Sunday, Minnesota has three games left in the regular season, with the next one coming against Arizona on Tuesday.

Head coach Dean Evason said that Dumba (upper body) is a "wild card" for Game 1 of the postseason, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not official, it sounds like the Wild don't expect Dumba to return during the regular season. The 27-year-old blueliner is averaging 23:11 of ice time with 26 points through 56 games this season. He's already missed the last eight games and he won't be an option for at least the next two contests, though he will join the team in Nashville on Sunday.

Dumba (upper body) is skating with the team but won't be an option versus Vancouver on Thursday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the Wild are heading into a back-to-back, Dumba may be hard-pressed to suit up versus the Kraken on Friday either, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Regardless, the defenseman will be out of action for his eighth straight contest due to his lingering upper-body issue.

Dumba (upper body) is skating daily with skills coach Andy Ness in Minnesota, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba isn't traveling with the team for its current two-game road trip, but the fact that he's skating daily suggests he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. Another update on the 27-year-old blueliner should surface prior to Sunday night's game against San Jose.

Dumba (upper body) won't play Tuesday against visiting Edmonton, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba has been skating but reportedly isn't that close to a return. Look for another update on the blueliner once a timetable for him to get back into game action has been established.

Dumba (upper body) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Kings, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba will miss his second straight game with the injury. It's unclear when he might be able to return, but his next chance will come Tuesday at home against the Oilers.

Dumba's upper body injury doesn't look good according to head coach Dean Evason, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dumba exited Tuesday's game after the second period. Given Evason's comments, it's probably safe to assume Dumba won't play Friday versus the Blues, and he could be out beyond that contest. Jordie Benn would likely enter the lineup to replace him, though the Wild could also call up Calen Addison from AHL Iowa.

Dumba (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how Dumba was hurt, but it's significant enough to keep him out for the rest of the contest. More information on the defenseman's status should be available prior to Friday's game versus the Blues.
