Dubnyk, not backup Niklas Svedberg, will be between the pipes against the Canadiens on Thursday, per Michael Russo of TheAthletic.com

EDGE Analysis

With the Wild entering the second half of a back-to-back Thursday, there was a chance Svedberg would get the nod, but instead, the team will give both games to No. 1 netminder Dubnyk. The 31-year-old has dropped three straight outings in which he has logged a subpar .895 save percentage and will look to right the ship in Montreal.
