Wild's Devan Dubnyk: Tending twine Saturday

Dubnyk will be the road starter against the Avalanche on Saturday afternoon, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

One of the best netminders to start the season, Dubnyk pitched three consecutive shutouts before narrowly losing to the Sabres on Tuesday. The brawny Saskatchewan native has five victories on the season and owns a respectable 2.38 GAA between a pair of losses. On Saturday, he'll face a Colorado team that has lost its past two games and carries a minus-8 goal differential.
