Avalanche's Devan Dubnyk: Outplayed in loss
Rotowire
Dubnyk allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Avalanche's Devan Dubnyk: Takes first loss with Avs
Rotowire
Dubnyk stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
The final St. Louis goal was scored into an empty net. Dubynk got staked to a 2-0 lead just over three minutes into the first period, but he'd squandered it before the first intermission, and the Avs never led again. The veteran netminder took his first loss in three starts since being traded to Colorado, and joining a Stanley Cup contender doesn't seem to have lit a spark under Dubnyk, as he has a 3.04 GAA and .900 save percentage with his new team.

Avalanche's Devan Dubnyk: Wins in Avalanche debut
Rotowire
Dubnyk stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Dubnyk bent but didn't break in the third period, maintaining the lead long enough to win in his Avalanche debut. The 34-year-old improved to 4-9-2 with a 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 18 appearances. His move to the Avalanche should be mutually beneficial -- Dubnyk's numbers should improve behind a better defense, and he gives his new team a more proven netminder than Jonas Johansson. Dubnyk may be starting a lot while Philipp Grubauer (COVID-19) is out.
