Dubnyk was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Wild’s 7-4 loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Alex Stalock earned the Wild’s first win in Ottawa on Monday afternoon but it looks like they’ll go back to Dubnyk in Toronto. He is 0-4-0 with a 4.56 GAA and .862 SV% in his first four starts and should be left on the bench against a Maple Leafs team that is averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Dubnyk gave up four goals on 31 shots in the Wild’s loss in Winnipeg on Thursday. Dubnyk has endured a tough start to the season, going 0-3-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .882 SV%. Maybe the home-opener can get Dubnyk going. He was 12-15-4 with a 2.56 GAA and .911 SV% at Xcel Energy Center last year, so home-ice advantage didn’t really seem to matter much to the 33-year-old.
Dubnyk gave up three goals on 31 shots in the Wild’s loss in Colorado last Saturday. It has been a tough start to the year for Dubnyk, who has given up seven goals on 62 shots (.887 SV%) in two games. Alex Stalock was scheduled to start tonight but with the 0-2 start, the Wild will go back to their No.1 netminder in Winnipeg. Dubnyk was 4-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .950 SV% vs. the Jets last year.
Dubnyk surrendered four goals on 31 shots in the Wild’s loss in Nashville on opening night. The Wild need Dubnyk to be great if they’re going to have any success this season and Game 1 was not his best performance. He was 2-2-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .938 SV% vs. the Avalanche last season but is a risky option on a busy Saturday night.
Dubnyk has been an absolute workhorse since arriving in Minnesota, averaging 64 starts and 35 wins per season. Over that time he has posted a 2.41 GAA and .918 SV%, which are t-4th and t-10th in the NHL respectively. Minnesota isn’t projected to be very good this year, but Dubnky’s workload keeps him in the No.2 fantasy conversation. He was 0-1-1 with a 2.46 GAA and .886 SV% vs. Nashville a season ago.
Dubnyk allowed two goals on 21 shots in the Wild’s loss in Arizona on Sunday. The Wild are still alive in the Western Conference playoff race, but barely. Tonight Dubnyk will make his fourth appearance vs. Winnipeg—he is 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .943 SV% in the first three meetings of the year.

Dubnyk stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win in Tampa Bay last night. It was an outstanding outing for Dubnyk, who is 6-0-1 with a 1.69 GAA, .943 SV% and one shutout in his last seven outings. Even with no rest, he remains a quality option tonight in Florida—the Panthers have lost six in a row (0-2-4) and are on a back-to-back of their own.
Dubnyk allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Wild’s win in Calgary on Saturday. Alex Stalock turned in a strong performance vs. Nashville on Sunday but Dubnyk will start the second game of the home-and-home on Monday. He is riding a five-game winning streak with a 1.59 GAA and .950 SV%.
