5* NHL Game of the Week
(NHL) Chicago vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: -155.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Win
Look for Minnesota to get on track and get a win here on Thursday night. It's managed just two goals in two games, but Devan Dubnyk has done his best impression of a pitcher keeping his team alive without much run support. After a 36-save performance in a season-opening 4-1 loss at Colorado Oct. 4 -- the last two goals were empty-netters -- Dubnyk stopped 41 of 42 shots in a 2-1 shootout defeat Saturday night against Vegas.

The 6-foot-6 Dubnyk owns a ridiculous .963 save percentage, yet doesn't have a win to his credit but with time to prepare and extra practice time I look for the Wild to get a big win here on their home ice.
