MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk made a subtle change to his mask in preparation for the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game against the Chicago Blackhawks at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET; NBC, SN, TVA Sports).
Dubnyk, nicknamed "The Giraffe" while playing junior hockey with Kamloops in the Western Hockey League, will still feature the long-necked animal on the right side of his mask; it's been a staple since his days with the Edmonton Oilers. But Dubnyk had Swedish artist Dave Gunnarsson add his sons, 2-year-old Nathaniel and 2-month-old Parker, adorned in Viking helmets and wearing eye black, to the left side.
