Wild’s Dubnyk out week to week with lower-body injury

Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk will be out week to week with a lower-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

A former Vezina finalist, Dubnyk hasn't been playing at his normal elite level this season, posting a .916 save percentage and a 2.69 goals-against average.

Steve Michalek has been recalled from the AHL, but Alex Stalock (.907 SV%, 2.93 GAA this season) will likely take on most of the workload in Dubnyk's absence. The 30-year-old has spent most of his career as the San Jose Sharks' backup netminder.
