Analysis:

Currently, Minnesota is three points ahead of Colorado for the second wild-card playoff spot out of the Western Conference. Dubnyk hasn't lost in regulation since March 6, a span of seven appearances for which he's generated a 2.15 GAA. Given that he's recently collected wins against tough opponents such as the Blackhawks and Kings, you have to like his chances to sustain the positive momentum Saturday. Besides, the Avalanche have had their share of troubles at home with a winning percentage of just .486, as compared to a .543 win rate on the road. This all boils down to Dubnyk being a strong fantasy play on a hefty, 14-game slate.
