Dumba's absence from the lineup all but assures his departure from the Coyotes.
This season, Dumba has four goals, six assists, 10 total points, a -13 plus/minus rating, 84 blocked shots, and 150 hits across 58 games played.
His pending unrestricted free agency status, signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract signed last summer, make him a potentially affordable addition for teams seeking additional defensive depth.
