Dumba (upper-body) will be back in the Wild lineup on Friday.

Dumba has been out since April 5th but will play Friday vs. the Avalanche. The Wild are going for home-ice advantage in the first-round, so getting Dumba back should provide a big boost to a Wild blueline that will also be getting Jared Spurgeon back.

Dumba (upper-body) will not play Friday in St. Louis.

Dumba suffered an upper-body injury in Nashville on Tuesday and will not be available on Friday. Head coach Dean Evason said that Dumba's prognosis was “more positive than we anticipated,” so it doesn't look like he'll be sidelined for an extended period of time. Look for Jordie Benn to draw into the lineup in Dumba's place on Friday.

Dumba (lower-body) will not play Monday vs. the Red Wings.

Dumba returned from a two-game absence with an upper-body injury on Saturday but suffered a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday. The Wild did not provide a timeline on Dumba, only saying he will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Jordie Benn will replace him in the lineup vs. Detroit.

Dumba (lower-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Thursday.

As hinted to on Wednesday, Dumba will return from a three-game absence on Thursday. The Wild managed to go 2-1-0 without Dumba but he'll provide a massive lift to their blueline vs. St. Louis. Dumba has been relatively quiet as of late but has accumulated 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games so far this season.

Dumba (lower-body) was activated from IR and is expected to play on Tuesday.

Dumba missed the Wild's last two games before they were shut down due to COVID-19 but will likely play Tuesday in Los Angeles. With a few defensemen still on the COVID-19 list, Dumba and Ryan Suter appear to be the only regulars on the blueline for Tuesday, so expect him to play a ton of minutes against the Kings.

Dumba will miss a minimum of three months after undergoing surgery for a ruptured right pectoral muscle.

How Dumba suffered the injury remains a mystery but the Wild are holding out hope that Dumba will be able to return later this season and be ready for the playoffs. Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin have taken on larger roles with Dumba sidelined.

Dumba will undergo surgery to repair an upper-body injury and will miss a “significant” amount of time.

Dumba was hurt against the Flames on December 15th and the injury will require surgery next week. This is a massive blow to the Wild blue line and fantasy teams alike. Dumba was having an excellent season, scoring 12 goals with 10 assists (22 points) in 32 games before getting injured. The Wild don’t have an exact timetable for his return but Dumba will be out long-term.

Matt Dumba
Dumba will miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.

Dumba suffered an upper-body injury against the Flames on Saturday and head coach Bruce Boudreau confirmed that he will miss a minimum of one week. Jared Spurgeon is expected to take on a much larger role while Dumba is out.
