Dubnyk, 36, last played in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche in 2021 after a rocky run with the San Jose Sharks. Dubnyk had a four-game stint with the Charlotte Checkers last year in hopes of turning it into an Olympic opportunity with Canada that ultimately didn’t happen. Dubnyk played 542 games over 12 seasons with Edmonton, Nashville, Arizona, Minnesota, San Jose and Colorado.
Everything changed in 2014-15, when he turned a successful stint with Arizona into a better opportunity with Minnesota, where won the Bill Masterton Trophy and finished as a Vezina Trophy finalist. It was one of the more remarkable bounce-back stories in some time, and it helped him spark a six-year run as Minnestoa’s starting goalie, playing 60-plus games on four occasions with a career-high 40 wins in 2016-17.
