• Stars' Matt Dumba: Traveling with team

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Dumba (lower body) will join the Stars for their upcoming two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday. Dumba has missed four games due to his lower-body injury but could be back on the ice soon. In his two appearances this year, the 30-year-old blueliner failed to get onto the scoresheet while registering four hits, two blocked shots and four PIM. He played alongside Miro Heiskanen at even strength before his injury, so Dumba would likely return to a top-four role when ready. In order to return to action, Dumba will need to first be activated off injured reserve.

• Stars' Matt Dumba: Placed on injured reserve

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Dumba (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest. Dumba suffered the injury a week ago against the Islanders and is considered week-to-week. In a corresponding move, the Stars recalled Matej Blumel from AHL Texas because center Sam Steel (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's contest against Edmonton, and Tyler Seguin (lower body) is unavailable.

• Stars' Matt Dumba: Won't require surgery

  Dumba (lower body) won't need surgery but is considered week-to-week, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Tuesday. With Dumba on the shelf, the team called up Alex Petrovic from the minors in order to bolster its defensive depth. Still, it's Nils Lundkvist who figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time without Dumba on the blue line. Given his recovery timeline, Dumba will likely wind up on injured reserve sooner rather than later.

• Stars' Matt Dumba: Needs further evaluation

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Dumba (lower body) is set to undergo imaging and will be re-evaluated Monday, effectively ruling him out for Sunday's game versus the Kraken, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports. Dumba was injured in the first period of Saturday's game against the Islanders. With the 30-year-old defenseman out of action Sunday, look for Brendan Smith to take on a third-pairing role, while Thomas Harley could jump onto the first pairing alongside Miro Heiskanen.
