Wild ride: Dubnyk to start 25th straight game
Mike Yeo is going to ride or die with Devan Dubnyk.
The Minnesota Wild head coach is set to start his new number one goalie for Tuesday's game against New Jersey, marking Dubnyk's 25th straight starting assignment since he was acquired from Arizona earlier this season.
Yeo appears bent on rolling with the proverbial hot hand, and for good reason. Since joining the Wild, Dubnyk has posted a record of 18-4-1 with a 1.66 GAA and .937 save percentage.
And how is he holding up under this massive workload?

Physically could be a different story, however.
The Wild will have 15 games remaining after Tuesday, meaning Dubnyk could be in line for almost half a season's worth of starts prior to the playoffs.
Let's hope he's sleeping all through his days off.
