Wild's Devan Dubnyk: Defending cage Thursday

Dubnyk will patrol the crease against the Blues on Thursday, Dane Mizutani of the Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Dubnyk has lost just one game in his last eight appearances, though he has only a .913 save percentage over that stretch. The netminder is 15-5-0 at home this year, and he figures to have the edge in this matchup versus a Blues team that has fallen in three of its last four outings. The 30-year-old trails Sergei Bobrovsky by just two victories for the league lead, and he still owns the top spot in both GAA (1.91) and save percentage (.935).
