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.
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.
Witkowski was sent off of the ice following a fight with Brett Kulak but came back off of the bench after some words were exchanged and Matthew Tkachuk “speared” him in the back of the leg and a brawl broke out. Witkowski has been in and out of the Red Wings lineup this season anyways, so this is not a big loss for the team and he carries zero fantasy appeal.
Witkowski, 27, is a Michigan native that is headed home after spending the first five years of his professional career with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Witkowski is capable of playing on the blueline or on the wing and adds some size and toughness to the Red Wings’ depth chart. Witkowski has just four assists and 58 PIMS in 54 career NHL games.
Dumba missed the last two games, including last night’s contest with an illness, but is set to go on the tail-end of the Wild’s Florida back-to-back. Dumba is expected to replace Gustav Olofsson in the lineup and enters play with 25 points (7G / 18A) in 59 games this season.
Dumba is battling an illness and will not play tonight in Tampa Bay. With Dumba out, Gustav Olofsson will be in the lineup for his second straight game. Dumba is also questionable for tomorrow’s game in Florida.
Dumba missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but will replace Nate Prosser in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Dumba has registered seven goals and 17 assists (24 points) in 54 games this season.
Dumba missed Sunday's game vs. the Red Wings because of a lower-body injury that he suffered when he crashed into the boards on Friday. Head coach Bruce Boudreau called him day-to-day and said he hopes to skate on Tuesday or Wednesday, so his status for Tuesday's game is in doubt.
Witkowski had one assist in his last four games and has just that one assist in eight games with the Lightning this season. The 26-year-old returns to Syracuse, where he has three assists in 11 games this season.
Witkowski, 26, has picked up three assists in 11 games with Syracuse this season. His call-up is likely related to Anton Stralman’s injury and suggests that Stralman may not be available vs. the Islanders. Witkowski has no points in 20 career NHL games.
Dumba has one goal on five shots and a minus-2 rating in three games this season but it looks like will be be replaced by Mike Reilly in the lineup on Thursday. Don’t expect the young defenseman to sit for very long.
Dumba was a minus-2 in Winnipeg on Sunday and has just two assists in his last 11 games. He will be replaced by Christian Folin tonight.
Witkowski has four assists in 13 games with Syracuse this season. Witkowski failed to record a point in 16 games with the Lightning last season, but he is known for his rugged, aggressive style of play, not his offence.
Witkowski had no points and a minus-1 rating in three preseason games. The Lightning have a deep blueline which pushed Witkowski back to the AHL.
Witkowski, 24 has been recalled because Jason Garrison was injured on Saturday and is unlikely to be available on Monday. Witkowski had no points, but 14 hits and 12 blocked shots in 10 games with the Lightning earlier in the season. In Syracuse he has just eight points (2G / 6A) and 91 PIMS in 47 games.
With the addition of Braydon Coburn, the Lightning sent Witkowski down after he had been a healthy scratch in each of the last five games.
