Not to be a hardo, but at a high level it’s rarely referred to as “dump and chase” anymore. The games are won and lost at both blue lines, and how teams plan to exit their DZ (clean or dirty) and enter the OZ (clean or dirty) changes on a night to night basis, based off of matchups, exploit opportunities, etc.

However, on a shift to shift basis, it boils down to basic blue line decision making. Does player X have a clean entry opportunity? If yes, I can’t envision a single NHL coach forcing said player X to “dump it in”. It might happen to get a change, but that would be it.

I bet if I clipped a Sens game, which I might do now that you’ve got me thinking, and took down all their entries, they only spot pucks when they don’t have clean entry opportunities.
