Rotowire
Dumoulin produced an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Dumoulin has three helpers over his last six outings. The 33-year-old has been in the lineup regularly for the Ducks as a veteran presence. He's up to 11 assists, 47 shots on net, 50 hits, 78 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 48 appearances. Dumoulin's offense is too limited for most fantasy managers, but it looks like the Ducks will play him regularly, meaning one of Olen Zellweger, Pavel Mintyukov or Drew Helleson will be a healthy scratch most of the time.

Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Breaks out of drought
Rotowire
Dumoulin recorded an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Dumoulin put a 15-game slump to rest when he helped out on Robby Fabbri's third-period tally. The 33-year-old Dumoulin is not a big scorer, instead serving as a veteran defensive presence for the Ducks this season. He has seven assists, 36 shots on net, 34 hits and 56 blocked shots through 36 outings. The Ducks have mostly limited healthy scratches to younger blueliners, so Dumoulin should play regularly even if he doesn't produce much offense.

Rotowire
Dumoulin remains in a third-pairing role but has not registered a point since Nov. 25, a span of 13 contests.
Dumoulin continues to see bottom-four minutes for the Ducks even after the team made some trades to reshape its blue line. The 33-year-old has not been a strong source of offense this year, picking up just six assists with 34 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 33 contests. Dumoulin has added 32 hits and 54 blocked shots and should continue to make the most of his impact in the defensive zone.

Rotowire
Dumoulin notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dumoulin set up Leo Carlsson's goal at 10:20 of the third period, which was the game-winner. The helper snapped a nine-game slump for Dumoulin. The 33-year-old defenseman is maintaining a top-four role for the Ducks, but he has limited fantasy value since he doesn't score much. Through 14 appearances, he has three assists, 20 shots on net, 16 hits and 28 blocked shots while averaging 19:08 of ice time.

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.

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.
