A Closer Look: Brian Dumoulin

Two-time Stanley Cup champion Brian Dumoulin is a new face in Orange Country and has quickly become a key cog of the Ducks defense.

The 33-year-old veteran has skated in each of Anaheim’s first nine games, co-leading the club in plus/minus (+2) and ranking second in blocked shots (19). Dumoulin earned his first point as a Duck in the club’s home opener, Oct. 16 vs. Utah at Honda Center.

Dumoulin has 635 games of NHL experience on his resume and his +98 career rating is good for 23rd among active defensemen.
