Devin freaking Dubnyk. The Wild were not the best team on the ice, nor were they in the offensive zone much, but their former Vezina Trophy candidate and Masterton Trophy winning goaltender held the team in just long enough after being spot an early one goal lead so the team could net a few more goals and some breathing room. Dubnyk not only broke the franchise shutout streak record, but he broke his personal best with 181:43 minutes of scoreless hockey.
The started with Antoine Roussel taking a hooking minor just 13 ticks in. The fruitless power play didn’t mount to much of anything as the Stars were aggressive on the penalty kill and never really allowed the Wild room to shoot, let alone get set up in the zone.
