Wild acquire goaltender Dubnyk from Coyotes
Goaltender Devan Dubnyk has been traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Arizona Coyotes

The Minnesota Wild acquired goaltender Devan Dubnyk from the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday for a third-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.

Dubnyk is 9-5-2 with a .916 save percentage in 19 games for the Coyotes this season. He had a poor 2013-14 season split between the Edmonton Oilers, Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens organizations, but the 28-year-old had at least a .914 save percentage in each of his previous three seasons with the Oilers.

The Wild desperately needed goaltending help. Josh Harding was playing like a Vezina Trophy candidate last season despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but he has not played since Dec. 31, 2013 because of complications with the treatment of the disease and a broken foot sustained during training camp.

Darcy Kuemper has a .902 save percentage) and Niklas Backstrom is at .887; they are 35th and 40th, respectively, out of 42 qualified goaltenders this season.
