ST. PAUL, Minn. — The story of Devan Dubnyk’s transformation from first-round flameout to an elite NHL goaltender may seem like a miracle now.
Just don’t tell Dubnyk. The Minnesota Wild puckstopper says he never doubted his ability. Fate and hard work combined to set the stage for what he has become.
"It’s tough to say because I never stopped believing in myself," said Dubnyk Tuesday afternoon, recalling the time he went from has-been to an all-star.
"I thought I played some pretty good years in Edmonton and one (season) kinda fell apart. I enjoyed my time there and I got a lot of experience," he said.
