Dubnyk is expected to start in net for the Coyotes in Saturday's game against the Wild, as he was the first off the ice following the team's morning skate, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Dubnyk has not played well lately, but neither has No. 1 goaltender Mike Smith. It's enough for coach Dave Tippett to lean toward alternating starts between both goalies, with the hope that one of them ultimately stumbles into a hot streak. A match against one of the stronger teams in the Western Conference probably isn't what Dubnyk needs in his attempt to establish some momentum.
