Dubnyk dazzles in the Minnesota Wild’s victory over the Dallas Stars.
Devan Dubnykshowed on Saturday night in Texas while he is the Minnesota Wild’s lone All-Star. Dubnyk and the Wild were facing off against the Western Conference’s best team in the Stars and Dubnyk didn’t let in a goal until just over three minutes left in the game, despite being peppered throughout the nightin a 2-1 Wild victory.
Dubnyk had a total of 32 saves in the game including a highlight real save that was featured in SportsCenter’s Top Ten.
The Wild knocked in their two goals in the second period. A little over three minutes into the period,Ryan Carterscored his fourth goal of the season to make it a 1-0 game. Just past the 11 minute mark,Thomas Vanekfound the back of the net with goal number 13 of the season for him. That 2-0 lead lasted for over a period, but not quite the whole game, because, of course, the two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey.
