Dewar scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Dewar had been held off the scoresheet in the first three games of December before scoring Friday. He's registered at least one point in just five of 25 contests this season, but one of those outings was a four-point effort. The 24-year-old has six tallies, two helpers, 26 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-2 rating while playing mostly in a fourth-line role.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Leads Wild with hat trick
Rotowire
Dewar had a hat trick and an assist in Minnesota's 6-1 win over Nashville on Thursday.
This wasn't just Dewar's first career hat trick, it was also the first multi-goal game he's recorded at the NHL level. Going into Thursday's contest, he had just 10 goals through 136 career NHL outings, including two markers and an assist in 20 contests this year. In other words, he more than doubled his goal and point totals for the 2023-24 campaign in a single night. While it's a great story, Dewar serves primarily in a fourth-line role and rarely sees time on the power play, so unless that changes, the 24-year-old is still unlikely to be a significant offensive contributor this season.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Scores goal in win
Rotowire
Dewar scored a short-handed goal on one shot in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over Montreal.
Dewar recorded three short-handed goals last season which accounted for half of his season-long goal total. Still, the 24-year-old center has notched two points to open the 2023-24 campaign despite averaging just 12:34 of ice time. With his strong start to the season, Dewar could top the 20-point threshold for the first time in his three-year NHL career.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Grabs helper in win
Rotowire
Dewar posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Blues.
Dewar has three points over his last two games since he snapped a 23-game slump. The 23-year-old forward helped out on a Ryan Reaves goal in the third period. It's too little to say Dewar's offense has turned a corner, especially since he's still on the fourth line. He's at 16 points, 71 shots on net, 108 hits, 44 blocks, 39 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 67 outings.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Pair of points in overtime loss
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
Dewar went nearly two months without getting on the scoresheet -- his most recent contribution before Sunday was a two-assist effort Jan. 17 versus the Capitals. The fourth-liner provides solid grit, but he hasn't been much of a scoring threat this season, with six goals, nine assists, 71 shots on net, 106 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 66 appearances.
Dewar posted two assists and was a plus-2 rating in the Wild's 4-2 victory over the Capitals on Tuesday.
Dewar picked up assists on Jonas Brodin's tying goal and Jared Spurgeon's game-winning goal. This performance snaps Dewar's pointless streak at 10 games and is his second multi-point game of the season. On the campaign, Dewar has five goals and 13 points in 42 games.

Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Dewar ended his four-game point drought at 16:03 of the second period, tying the game at 1-1. He's scored four of his five goals this season in December. The 23-year-old fourth-liner is up to 11 points, 34 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 31 contests. He doesn't see much power-play time, but four of his points have come while shorthanded.

Rotowire
Dewar scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Chips in two helpers Wednesday
Rotowire
Dewar provided two assists in a 5-3 loss to Calgary on Wednesday.
Dewar extended his point streak to three games, giving him three goals and nine points in 24 contests this season. He was averaging just 11:04 of ice time entering Wednesday's contest and logged 12:09 versus the Flames. Unless the 23-year-old gets a bigger role, it's unlikely that he will make regular offensive contributions.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Breaks goal-scoring slump
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal and delivered two hits during Saturday's 5-4 shootout victory over the visiting Ducks.
Crashing the net, Dewar collected a Ryan Reaves rebound and beat goalie John Gibson for his first goal in eight games. Dewar, a 2018 third-round draft pick, scored on his lone shot Saturday. Dewar, who seeks to provide additional offense from the fourth line, collected his second goal against Anaheim despite receiving just 8:22 of ice time. In 57 career NHL games, the 23-year-old center has potted four goals.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Scores in loss to Sharks
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal in a 3-2 shootout loss to San Jose on Sunday.
Dewar's up to a goal and five points in 14 games this season. He averaged just 8:06 of ice time over his first five games, but that went up to 11:42 over his next seven contests, and Dewar's logged over 15 minutes in each of his last two games. With his role increasing, Dewar's worth keeping an eye on despite his limited offensive contributions.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Mixes things up in win
Rotowire
Dewar notched an assist, 17 PIM, three shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Dewar fought Ducks defenseman Nathan Beaulieu in the second period. In the third, Dewar had the primary helper on Matt Dumba's game-winning goal. Near the end of the game, Dewar was involved in another fracas, earning a roughing penalty and a misconduct. The 23-year-old winger has brought toughness with 27 PIM and 27 hits through 12 contests. He's added four assists, 14 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while playing in a bottom-six role.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Garners first point of season
Rotowire
Dewar produced a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Minnesota expressed its faith in Dewar by inking him to a one-way, two-year contract in the summer. Last season, he put up two goals and four assists through 35 NHL games, and Dewar will need to carve out a larger role in order to captivate the masses in fantasy hockey.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Re-signs with club
Rotowire
Dewar agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Minnesota on Wednesday.
Dewar's deal is one-way in nature which means he should be expected to spend the bulk of the season up in the NHL considering he would have to go on waivers in order to be demoted to the minors. In 35 games last season, the 22-year-old center generated two goals on 44 shots, four assists and 48 hits despite averaging just 9:54 of ice time.

The 22-year-old is at six points, 44 shots, 48 hits and a minus-4 rating in 35 games at the NHL level as a rookie.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Back with big club
Rotowire
Dewar was promoted from AHL Iowa on Thursday.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Reassigned to minors
Rotowire
Dewar was demoted to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Dewar hasn't played in a game since March 19 versus the Blackhawks, so his reassignment is likely designed to get him some ice time in the minors. When in the lineup, the 22-year-old center has struggled to produce and is currently bogged down in a 10-game pointless streak. If he is called back up, Dewar figures to be primarily a depth option and could see more of the press box than the ice.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Deposits goal Sunday
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Oilers.
Dewar helped pad the Wild's lead in the second period with his second goal of the season. The 22-year-old hadn't registered a point in his previous five games. The forward is up to five points, 28 shots on net, 22 hits, 23 PIM and an even plus-minus rating in 20 contests, though he's mostly played in a fourth-line role. Fantasy managers won't need to pay Dewar much attention unless he moves up the lineup.

Wild's Connor Dewar: Contributes assist in win
Rotowire
Dewar notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Dewar set up Nico Sturm's third-period tally as the Wild's fourth line closed the scoring in the blowout win. In his last four games, Dewar has recorded three points. The Manitoba native is up to four points, 20 shots on net, 23 PIM, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating through 14 contests. He could be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once Marcus Foligno (upper body) is ready to return.
