Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk knows that expectations will be high with fans wondering what he'll do for an encore.
"I've thought about it a ton," Dubnyk told the St. Paul Pioneer Press this week. "It would be nice not to have to go 27-9 again there at the end. We have to get going faster, have a more consistent start."
The Wild were 18-19-5, losers of 12 of 14 games and eight points out of the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference when Dubnyk arrived in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes on Jan.
