Dubnyk stopped 24 of 26 shots in his return to the lineup, a 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old had missed the previous three games with an upper-body injury and while he wasn't overly busy in his first game back, it was the first start this year in which he held the opponent to less than two goals. For the season, Dubnyk is 2-6-0 with a 3.65 GAA and an .885 save percentage.

Dubnyk will defend the road cage in Wednesday's matchup against the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubnyk will make his first start after missing the last three games with an upper-body injury. He's struggled to perform well this year with at least three goals against in each start and a season-long .880 save percentage. The defending champs will take an offensive hit being without Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder), but there's high risk deploying Dubnyk until he shows he can still perform this year.

Dubnyk (upper body) will back up Alex Stalock for Tuesday's game against the Stars, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubnyk has missed Minnesota's last two games due to an upper-body injury, but he should be back between the pipes Wednesday against St. Louis. The veteran backstop has had a disappointing start to the season, compiling a 2-5-0 record while posting an ugly 3.92 GAA and .880 save percentage in seven appearances.

Dubnyk (upper body) will not dress Saturday versus the Kings, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters that he figures Dubnyk will be ready to return to game action next week, so while the Wild netminder has been ruled out of Saturday's contest, a return to the crease appears imminent.

Dubnyk (upper body) was back at practice Friday, Dane Mizutani of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubnyk's return to practice bodes well for his chances of retaking the starter's crease Saturday against the Kings, though no decision has been made between him and Alex Stalock at this time. Perhaps the short injury layoff will prove to be a blessing in disguise and help Dubnyk return to form, as he owns a 3.92 GAA and .880 save percentage on the young season.

Dubnyk (upper body) won't play in Thursday's road game against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Dubnyk wasn't expected to be ready for this contest, but the Wild revealed the upper-body nature of this injury. The veteran netminder has a chance to tend the twine when the Wild return home for Saturday's matchup against the Kings. Alex Stalock is expected to patrol the crease in Dubnyk's stead.

Dubnyk (undisclosed) is unlikely to play in Thursday's matchup with Nashville, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubnyk was injured against the Oilers on Tuesday and was replaced by Alex Stalock, who figures to get the nod Thursday in Dubnyk's stead. The club didn't provide any details regarding the nature of the veteran's injury, so he could still be an option Saturday, though fantasy owners will have to take a wait-and-see approach.

Dubnyk (undisclosed) was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Oilers, and was replaced by Alex Stalock, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Donato and Brandon Manning were sent tumbling into Dubnyk's crease, in which the goaltender jumped over the players, and subsequently hit his head hard on the ice in the fall. Dubnyk pleaded his case to the trainers to stay in the game, but was ultimately forced to exit, presumably to undergo further testing. The 33-year-old exits stopping all nine shots faced, and expect further updates regarding Dubnyk's status in the near future.

Dubnyk is expected between the pipes at home against Edmonton on Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the year on a five-game losing streak, Dubnyk got his first victory of the year versus Montreal on Sunday. The veteran netminder is sporting a 5.13 GAA within the confines of the Xcel Energy Center and will have to go up against Connor McDavid, not exactly a recipe for success, though Dubs is 9-4-0 in his career versus the Oilers.

Dubnyk made 31 saves in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Sunday. It was the Wild netminder's first win of 2019-20.

EDGE Analysis

After suffering five consecutive losses to begin the 2019-20 season, Dubnyk finally found the win column Sunday. He allowed three goals in the victory and has yet to hold an opponent under three goals, but a win is a win, and Dubnyk will certainly take it at this point. His season record now stands at 1-5-0.
