The Arizona Coyotes traded defenseman Matt Dumba and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2027 fifth-round pick, the teams announced Friday.

Dumba is a pending unrestricted free agent with a $3.9-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly.

The 29-year-old was in his first season with the Coyotes, who signed him as a free agent in August. Dumba spent the previous 10 campaigns with the Minnesota Wild after they drafted him seventh overall in 2012.

The Lightning needed defensive help with Mikhail Sergachev out long term due to injury.

Dumba hasn't produced offensively since erupting for 14 goals and 36 assists in 2017-18. He occupied a second-pairing role with the Coyotes and figures to crack Tampa's top four with Sergachev missing significant time.

The Saskatchewan-born rearguard has averaged over 20 minutes of ice time in every season since 2016-17.
