Pivotal Moment: Dubnyk sets an early tone with saved penalty shot

The first moments of last night's game against the New York Rangers were not pretty. In fact, they were downright ugly as the Wild got off to a trademark slow start, looking confused in their own zone and not deliberate out of it. The Rangers grabbed the opening faceoff and danced right in to set up their offense without much contest from the Wild defenders. On one particular zone exit, the Wild coughed the puck up in the neutral zone to Keith Yandle, who had a clear line straight to Dubnyk as Marco Scandella and Nate Prosser pushed forward.
