Bold Prediction: Dubnyk Leads the League in Wins

Devan Dubnyk became the savior of the Wild’s season after landing on the roster while the team was in Buffalo. He turned a weakness into a strength as he backstopped the team from far out of the playoff picture straight into the postseason.In doing so, he earned himself a Masterton Trophy for perseverance as well as becoming a finalist for the Vezina Trophy (best goaltender) and being part of the conversation for the Hart Trophy (MVP).Dubnyk put up some incredible numbers in doing so including a 27-9 record, 1.78 GAA and incredible .936 SV%.While those numbers scream "unsustainable" and some regression is likely to occur, Dubnyk is still set up to lead the league in wins for two reasons: skill and context.
