Dumais scored a goal on three shots and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 4-3 overtime win over Milwaukee on Friday. - Dumais has four points over three contests since returning from a hip injury that had him on the non-roster list to start 2025-26. The Monsters have had a light schedule since he returned to the AHL in mid-October, which has likely helped him ease back in, and he's shown progress each game. The 21-year-old winger figures to spend most of the season with the minor-league team, though a particularly strong run of play could earn him a call-up to Columbus. |

Still, when the 21-year-old winger was in the lineup, he contributed plenty offensively with four goals and seven assists.

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. - 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. |

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 website reports. - 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. |

Dumais signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Columbus on Friday. - Dumais has 19 goals and 49 points in 22 QMJHL games this season. That's more points than any other player from the QMJHL, OHL or WHL. Columbus took him with the No. 96 pick in the 2022 Draft. He's got tremendous offensive potential, but at 5-foot-8 and 169 pounds, his size is a bit of a concern. That said, forwards Cole Caufield and Johnny Gaudreau are about the same height and they're dominant offensive forces in the NHL. |
