Dubnyk will be in the cage Saturday night for Game 2 against the Stars.

Analysis:

Dubnyk allowed three goals on 31 shots to the Stars in Game 1 on Thursday, and the offensive support was non-existent with the absences of Zach Parise (back), Erik Haula (undisclosed) and Thomas Vanek (lower body) not doing Minnesota any favors. Of those three forwards, only Haula is expected back for Game 2. If you're thinking about rolling with Dubnyk in playoff settings, consider that the Stars led the league by averaging 3.23 goals per game in the regular season. Buyer beware.
