Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Assists in consecutive games
Rotowire
Dumoulin registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Dumoulin has a helper in each of the last two games. The 33-year-old defenseman has played a shutdown role to begin his tenure with the Ducks, adding 12 blocked shots, eight hits, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. Dumoulin's playing style doesn't tend to lead to much offense, so he's unlikely to be anything more than a streaming option for non-scoring production in fantasy.

Rotowire
Dumoulin provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Dumoulin's first point as a Duck was a helper on Pavel Mintyukov's second-period tally. Those two blueliners have been paired together to start the season, though Dumoulin has far less scoring upside. He's added four shots on net, six hits and eight blocked shots over three contests in a third-pairing role.

Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Swapped for fourth-round pick
Rotowire
Dumoulin was traded to the Ducks from the Kraken on Tuesday in a swap for a 2026 fourth-round selection.
Dumoulin apparently has found himself as the odd man out after the Kraken signed Brandon Montour to a seven-year deal Monday. After spending his first 10 seasons with the Penguins, the veteran blueliner will now be on this third team in as many seasons after spending just one year in Seattle. While Dumoulin has reached the 20-point threshold twice in his career, that is certainly not the norm for the blueliner, who is more likely to offer between 15-20 points per season.

Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Nets rare goal
Rotowire
Dumoulin scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
This was Dumoulin's first goal in 26 games, and he had just two assists over that span. The 32-year-old defenseman offers next to nothing on offense, and with the Kraken officially eliminated from playoff contention, it's possible he could get rested at times. He has five goals, 14 points, 60 shots on net, 68 hits, 72 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 73 appearances in a third-pairing role.

Rotowire
Dumoulin notched an assist in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
Dumoulin snapped a 10-game point drought with his helper on Jordan Eberle's first-period tally. The 32-year-old Dumoulin has filled in on the top pairing while Vince Dunn (upper body) is out of the lineup. Dumoulin has 13 points, 55 shots on net, 61 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 65 appearances, doing little to earn fantasy interest in most formats.

Rotowire

The 32-year-old is at 10 points, 34 shots on net, 40 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 46 outings. He'll need to stay sharp at both ends of the ice to avoid losing playing time to Ryker Evans.

Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Rare two-point effort
Rotowire
Dumoulin scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dumoulin's goal came out of a cannon at 8:28 of the third period, snuffing out any hope Columbus had for a comeback. Dumoulin has three points over his last two games, matching his total from the previous 28 contests. For the season, the defenseman is at nine points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 41 appearances. He's holding onto a third-pairing spot, and with the Kraken winning, it's unlikely Ryker Evans will get a chance to pry it away from Dumoulin anytime soon.

Dumoulin notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Dumoulin snapped an eight-game point drought with his helper.

Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Picks up assist
Rotowire
Dumoulin notched an assist and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Dumoulin snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old was scratched Dec. 9, shortly after the call-up of Ryker Evans, but Justin Schultz's (upper body) absence has allowed Dumoulin to remain in the lineup recently. Things could get crowded when the Kraken's defense is fully healthy. Dumoulin hasn't exactly impressed with six points, 22 shots on net, 25 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 30 appearances in his first year with Seattle.

Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Dumoulin notched an assist in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.
Dumoulin snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper on Eeli Tolvanen's first of two goals in the third period. Offense remains sparse for Dumoulin, who has five points over 21 appearances. He's added 18 shots on net, 16 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while playing on the third pairing. Despite the limited role and mediocre scoring, Dumoulin is not at risk of losing his place in the lineup to Jaycob Megna, at least for the time being.

Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Dumoulin found the back of the net in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
It was Dumoulin's first goal and third point in 10 contests in 2023-24. His marker Monday put the Kraken on the board at 12:08 of the opening period. Dumoulin had a goal and 25 points in 82 contests last season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him decline offensively this year.
