Devan Dubnyk will tend the twine in Friday's Game 5 against the Stars.

Dubnyk will tend the twine in Friday's Game 5 against the Stars, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Dubnyk's been less-than-impressive in the first-round series thus far, allowing three goals in three of the four contests (all losses). Having already lost in the first to road games, he and the Wild will look to bring the series back Minneapolis by snagging Game 5 in Dallas. Fortunately, he'll avoid one of Dallas' star forwards (Tyler Seguin), but the Wild also remain without multiple top-six forwards due to injury. If the series is to continue, Dubnyk will likely need to be on top of his game Friday.
