While season-long success can still inform decision-making, the […]

Devan Dubnyk, G, Colorado Avalanche: Almost according to script, the Avs get the veteran backup tender and then immediately have to break the emergency glass when starter Philipp Grubauer hits the COVID protocol list for two weeks. It means Dubnyk and 25-year-old Jonas Johansson have to hold down the fort into May. Dubnyk’s .921 even-strength […]
