Dubnyk will be between the pipes for Saturday's matinee tilt with the Penguins, Craig Morgan of FOX Sports Arizona reports.

Analysis:

It's the third straight start for Dubnyk, who has earned the trust of coach Dave Tippett for the time being by garnering three of a possible four points in his last two turns. His (relatively) hot hand will make him the Coyotes' No. 1 goalie for now, but the team's larger financial commitment to Mike Smith likely makes Dubnyk an unsafe bet to remain atop the depth chart for the rest of the season. Dubnyk has gone 6-2-2 with a respectable 2.56 GAA and .922 save percentage over his 12 appearances.
