Evaluating The Goaltending Tandem of Dubnyk and Stalock

Hockey is a team sport, but in some games one player can swing the game in their team’s favor. Typically, this swing is done by a goaltender. It’s the most important position in the game. The netminder can steal a few games every year for his team and could even make or break a team’s playoff chances. If a goaltender has a tough year, likely the team will have a tough year and vise-versa. As Minnesota Wild fans, you have probably become familiar with this phenomenon, as Devan Dubnyk has been — for the most part — rock solid in net after being acquired by Minnesota during the 2014-15 season.
