What It Means:

Dubnyk is fortunate to draw a Blues team playing the second night of a back-to-back on Thursday. He finished with a 2.84 goals against average and .902 save percentage against St. Louis last season, going 2-2-1 in his five starts.

numberFire sees Dubnyk as a back-end fantasy option for Thursday night, projecting him to allow 2.40 goals on 27.95 shot attempts. We give him just a 40.0 percent chance of winning the season opener.
