Impact Dumais dealt with a lower-body injury throughout camp, and he'll be sidelined for the start of the regular season. Once he's cleared to return, he'll likely be assigned to AHL Cleveland.

Put on injured non-roster Dumais (lower body) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Not slated to play Thursday Dumais (lower body) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Penguins, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dumais continues to deal with a lower-body injury, and he won't suit up for the penultimate game of the preseason. He seemed like a long shot to make the Opening Night roster before his injury, and he'll likely head to the minors once the regular season begins.

Unavailable versus Sabres Dumais (lower body) will not be in the lineup against Buffalo on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Impact Dumais has yet to make his NHL debut but could be in line to do so this season. Even without his lower-body injury, the 20-year-old winger seemed unlikely to make the Jackets' Opening Night roster, instead, Dumais figures to make the jump to the professional ranks and join AHL Cleveland after four seasons with QMJHL Halifax.

Dealing with lower-body injury Dumais won't play in the NHL Prospects Challenge this weekend because of a lower-body injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Impact Dumais had 16 goals and 47 points in 21 contests with QMJHL Halifax in 2023-24. If he's healthy, the 20-year-old should get a chance to play in the preseason, but he'll likely start the upcoming campaign with AHL Cleveland.

Has successful surgery Dumais had successful lower abdominal surgery a week ago and will miss the next five weeks.
Impact Dumais was selected in the third round --96th overall -- of the 2022 Draft. He had 16 goals and 47 points in 21 contests with QMJHL Halifax this season. Dumais is expected to attend training camp with the Blue Jackets in September. He is likely to spend next season with AHL Cleveland.

Needs surgery, out six weeks Dumais will undergo lower abdominal surgery Friday. He's expected to need six weeks to recover.
Impact Dumais has 16 goals and 47 points in 21 games with QMJHL Halifax this season. Columbus took him with the No. 96 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Dumais might get a long look during training camp for the 2024-25 campaign.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with hip issue Dumais will be evaluated for a hip problem by team doctors in Columbus, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dumais was putting together a strong season with QMJHL Halifax, notching 16 goals and 31 assists in just 21 games for the Mooseheads. The 19-year-old winger was less productive at the World Junior Championship with Canada, garnering just one goal and one assist. The Montreal native's hip injury could bring his union campaign to a close but the Jackets will want to determine the next steps for their 2022 third-round pick.

Explosive start to junior season Dumais recorded a hat trick and added two assists Friday for QMJHL Halifax in a 6-4 win over Rouyn-Noranda, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 19-year-old winger has nothing left to prove in junior hockey after amassing 54 goals and 140 points in 64 games for Halifax last year. However, he's still too young for the AHL, and an upper-body injury late in Columbus' training camp ended his long-shot bid for a spot on the NHL roster. Dumais could get an opportunity to make his NHL debut after the QMJHL season is completed. Despite being undersized at 5-foot-9 and 174 pounds, the 2022 third-round pick has the hockey IQ and work ethic to potentially make his offensive skills translate well to the top level.

Returned to QMJHL Dumais (upper body) was loaned to QMJHL Halifax on Friday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Impact The 19-year-old had a huge season in junior hockey last year, scoring 54 goals and adding 86 assists in 64 contests with the Moosehead. Expect Dumais to begin his professional career next season in the AHL.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting on injured non-roster list Dumais (upper body) was put on the injured/non-roster list Monday.
Impact A timeline for Dumais' return has not been provided yet. The 19-year-old forward amassed 54 goals and 140 points in 64 games for QMJHL Halifax last season. When he is ready to play, he will probably be loaned back to the Mooseheads.

Leading scorer in prospect tourney Dumais led all scorers with eight points (four goals and four assists) in three games during the Traverse City Prospect Tournament, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official websi...
Impact Taken in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft, Dumais has looked like a steal at times since his selection and is coming off the best QMJHL season in nearly two decades, as his 140 points (54 goals, 86 helpers) is the most the Q has seen since Alexander Radulov's 152 in 2005-06 and Sidney Crosby's 168 in 2004-05. Dumais' 5-foot-8 frame is a concern when it comes to his offensive skills translating to the NHL, but his skating has improved significantly since he was drafted and his vision and hockey IQ are elite. "Off the chart IQ," Traverse City teammate Adam Fantilli, the third overall pick in the 2023 draft, said after the tournament. "If I can't even see him, I'm still ready for a pass. He sees a lot of things I don't, and I just have to be ready for a pass. He's a really strong kid. He plays like he's a lot bigger than he is. He's got one of the best hockey brains I've ever played with, so being out there with him has been really special." Dumais still has a year of junior eligibility left and the 19-year-old would need a waiver to play in the AHL this season, but the Blue Jackets haven't ruled out applying for one -- or even keeping him on the NHL roster if he shows out in training camp.
