ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Goaltender Devan Dubnyk will make his first start in three games for the Minnesota Wild when they face the Arizona Coyotes at Xcel Energy Center on Monday (8:30 p.m. ET; FS-A, FS-WI, FS-N+).
Dubnyk backed up Darcy Kuemper in each of the past two games after losing four straight decisions. Dubnyk gave up eight goals in the span and had a .919 save percentage.
The Wild have lost four straight games on home ice and won't play here again until Feb. 9. Minnesota has lost six of its past seven games overall.
"There's a lot [of value to this game]," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "The way things have gone lately, we can try and point to some positives with a good result tonight. Or certainly, it could steer back towards the negatives."
Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue will make his fourth straight start.
