4. Devan Dubnyk – Minnesota Wild

Devan Dubyk is one of the top goaltenders this season and has been an incredible goaltender for the Minnesota Wild. Dubnyk is very present on the NHL’s goaltending leaderboard and has led the Wild to first place in the Central Division.

Dubnyk leads NHL goalies in GAA (1.78) and for his save percentage (.940) and ranks second for most wins (23) and most shutouts (5). Dubnyk has been performing at an unreal level this season. The goaltender, also in talks for the Vezina, has been an incredibly important asset to his team.

The Wild’s improved play combined with the elite play and leadership of their goaltender have plunged the team into a lot of success. Minnesota will be looking to continue their huge impact as they chase the Stanley Cup.

Dubnyk is definitely Minnesota’s most valued player. Without Dubnyk, the Wild might be in a very different position this season. But Dubnyk is performing incredibly well and has been confidently leading his team, making his Hart Trophy campaign a very persuasive one.
