Dubnyk will be in the crease in Thursday's Game 1 against the Stars, Sportsnet's Dan Murphy reports.

Analysis:

Dubnyk struggled at the end of the regular season, compiling an 0-4-0 record with a 2.92 GAA and .882 save percentage in his last five appearances. The 29-year-old netminder will look to turn things around Thursday in a highly unfavorable road matchup with a Stars club averaging an impressive 3.32 goals per game at home this season, first in the NHL. Dubnyk should be avoided in playoff pools as well as daily formats.
