Returning to Minnesota to face his old team, Arizona Coyotes defenseman Matt Dumba is ecstatic to play against Wild tonight.
Following a decade in St. Cloud, Dumba inked a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the ‘Yotes, transitioning for the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” to the “Valley of the Sun.”
He was one of the main focal points on the Wild’s defensive core, providing grit and bite from the backend when needed.
Spending 10 years on the Wild, Dumba registered 79 goals, 157 assists, 816 hits and 699 blocks in 598 games.
