What It Means:

Dubnyk has a strong .924 save percentage and 2.23 goals-against average on the season, but he's been in a slump over his last 25 games (.904 save percentage and 2.81 goals-allowed average in that span). The Wild have a playoff spot locked up but are looking to secure their standing. Carolina, meanwhile, will be putting up a fight, as they are in do-or-die mode eight points back of the second wild-card spot, but not yet eliminated.

numberFire's models give Dubnyk a whopping 73.0 percent chance for the win tonight and a 12.0 percent opportunity of posting a shutout, making him our top-rated fantasy option among the 26 starting goalies on Tuesday. We project him to make 25.1 saves and allow 1.7 goals versus the Hurricanes.
