Gabriel Paul Joseph Dumont (born October 6, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right wing for the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL). Dumont was selected 139th overall in the fifth round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.
Dumont played four seasons with the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before he was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens on April 30, 2010.
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. This was followed by an additional one-year, two-way contract extension on June 1, 2015.
After 7 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.
On June 28, 2017, the Lightning announced that it had re-signed Dumont to a two-year, $1.3 million contract extension. Dumont made the Lightning's roster to open the 2017–18 season. He appeared in 7 scoreless games before he was placed on waivers by the Lightning and claimed by the Ottawa Senators on November 22, 2017. On February 20, 2018, Dumont was placed on waivers by the Senators, and was then claimed by the Lightning the next day.
