Devan Dubnyk to get the nod for the Wild on Thursday
The Minnesota Wild will start Devan Dubnyk in goal on Thursday versus the Nashville Predators.
Dubnyk has been on fire recently, winning five straight starts while allowing a total of seven goals with a .952 save percentage. However, the Wild netminder has a tough task on Thursday as he faces the best offense in the Western Conference. Nashville has scored 3.00 goals per game this year with an outstanding 3.64 average in 14 home games.
Our models project Dubnyk as the fifth-best goalie option on a busy Thursday with 2.2 goals allowed, 26.1 saves and a 54.0 percent chance of earning a win.
