Dubnyk has been added to the COVID-19 reserve list.

The Avalanche recently acquired Jonas Johansson to be Philipp Grubauer's backup but Dubnyk provides them with a more experienced backup option heading for what looks like a lengthy playoff run. Dubnyk went 3-9-2 with a 3.18 GAA and .898 SV% in 17 games with the Sharks this season but will play behind a much better defensive team in Colorado.
Dubnyk was scratched from Thursday's game with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss a few more games, including Saturday's afternoon tilt with the Golden Knights. With Dubnyk out, Martin Jones is expected to get the start and Alexei Melnichuk will be his backup again.
