Devan Dubnyk to Start Game 1 for Wild
7 years agoGoaltender Devan Dubnyk will guard the opposing crease for the visiting Minnesota Wild for their Game 1 matchup at Winnipeg. Dubnyk had a solid season for Minnesota in which he registered 35 wins while posting a 2.52 goals-against-average and a .918 save percentage. Dubnyk won his last start against the Jets in mid-January in which he registered 32 saves and only allowed one goal while short-handed in a 4-1 victory in Minnesota. Although it may be tempting to start Dubnyk against the playoff-inexperienced Jets, it’s important to note that the Jets have played truly phenomenal hockey at the Bell MTS Place. When you couple the Jets home form alongside the fact that the Wild lost three of the four regular season matchups against Winnipeg, it makes sense to look for better options in net, especially in daily fantasy setups.
