Dubnyk stopped all 22 shots that he faced in the Wild's shutout win over the Flames on Monday. Since returning to the Wild's crease, Dubnyk has gone 2-0 while stopping 60 of 65 shots (.923 SV%). Tonight he faces the Avalanche for the second time this season--he allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 4-2 loss in Colorado back in early-October.
Dubnyk's last start came on November 16th. He stopped 24 of 28 shots in a 4-3 OT loss to the Hurricanes and ended up missing the next 14 games due to personal reasons. Dubnyk's wife is battling illness, so he took one month off to be with her before returning as the backup on Tuesday. Tonight he faces the Coyotes for the third time this season--he is 2-0-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .922 SV% in the first two meetings.
Dubnyk has been away from the team for just over three weeks and the Wild aren't sure when he will re-join the team. Dubnyk's wife has an ongoing medical issue so the Wild granted him a personal leave of absence in mid-November and Dubnyk is still trying to figure out when the best time to return is. Minnesota will continue with a goaltending duo of Alex Stalock and Kaapo Kahkonen.
Dubnyk missed Wednesday's practice to deal with a "family issue" and is questionable for Thursday's game. Alex Stalock is coming off of a win in Buffalo on Tuesday, so they won't hesitate to let Dubnyk have the night off with Stalock starting and Kaapo Kahkonen backing him up.

Dubnyk stopped 32 of 34 shots in the Wild's loss to the Kings on Tuesday. Despite losing for the fourth time in five outings, it was another solid outing from Dubnyk and another sign that he is finding his game after a tough month of October. He'll be in tough on Thursday when they host a Coyotes team that is 5-0-1 while scoring 3.50 goals per game in their last six road games.
Dubnyk allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Wild's win in Arizona on Saturday. It was a much-needed performance for Dubnyk, who is now 3-7-1 with a 3.57 GAA and .887 SV% on the season. It's hard to trust him in any matchup right now but the Kings have lost seven of their last eight while averaging just 2.00 goals per game, so there's a glimmer of hope for Dubnyk owners tonight.

Dubnyk stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Wild's loss in St. Louis on Wednesday. Dubnyk has put a tough start behind him, going 2-1-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .926 SV% in his last three outings.

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.
