Dumba will be a healthy scratch Thursday in Carolina.

Dumba has four goals, eight assists, 54 PIMs and 56 SOG through 43 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Carolina. Dumba is expected back in the lineup soon as head coach Dean Evason claimed “I won’t get into specifics, but he knows why he’s sitting out".

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.
