Where does Matt Dumba fit in the Tampa Bay Lightning roster?

Dumba will look to play an essential part as an experienced back-bone for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season.

Matt Dumba will add experience to the Tampa Bay Lightning blue line. His average of 20 mins on ice every game and four goals and six assists in the last 58 games will also put him in the category of players to look out for.

Dumba will go down as not only a smart signing for the Lightning, he will be among the ones to watch as we head towards the business end of the season.
