Playing career

Early years

As a youth, Dumont played in the 2003 and 2004 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with minor ice hockey teams from Rimouski. [1]

Professional

Dumont played four seasons with the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) before he was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens on April 30, 2010. [2] He recorded his first career NHL point on March 13, 2013, against the Ottawa Senators [3] and scored his first NHL goal on April 17, 2013, against the Pittsburgh Penguins. [4]

At the conclusion of his entry-level deal, in July 2013, Dumont was re-signed by the Canadiens to a two-year, two-way contract. [5] This was followed by an additional one-year, two-way contract extension on June 1, 2015. [6]

After seven seasons within the Canadiens organization, Dumont left as a free agent to sign a one-year, two-way contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on July 1, 2016. [7]

On June 28, 2017, the Lightning announced that they had re-signed Dumont to a two-year, $1.3 million contract extension. [8] Dumont made the Lightning's roster to open the 2017–18 season. He would appear in seven games being held pointless before being placed on waivers by the Lightning and claimed by the Ottawa Senators on November 22, 2017. [9] On February 20, 2018, Dumont was placed on waivers by the Senators, [10] and was then claimed by the Lightning the next day. [11]

On July 1, 2019, Dumont signed as a free agent to a two-year, two-way contract with the Minnesota Wild. [12]

At the conclusion of his contract with the Wild, Dumont would return to his former club, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract on July 28, 2021. [13]

On June 9, 2022, Dumont signed a two-year contract with the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League (AHL) to remain within the Lightning organization. [14] This was followed by a one-year extension with the team in June 2024. [15]
