Devan Dubnyk won't play for the Minnesota Wild against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; FS-TN, FS-N, FS-WI, NHL.TV) because of an upper-body injury. The goalie is day to day.

Dubnyk was injured during a collision in the crease early in the second period of a 3-0 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. He made nine saves before leaving the game 1:59 into the second. Alex Stalock relieved him and made 16 saves to complete the shutout.
