Wild's Dubnyk out week to week with lower-body injury

Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk will be out week to week with a lower-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

Dubnyk left Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames after the first intermission. He reportedly felt pain in his knees after rolling over in the crease following a save on Matthew Tkachuk, according to The Athletic's Michael Russo.

A former Vezina finalist, Dubnyk hasn't been playing at his normal elite level this season, posting a .916 save percentage and a 2.69 goals-against average.

Steve Michalek has been recalled from the AHL, but Alex Stalock (.907 SV%, 2.93 GAA this season) will likely take on most of the workload in Dubnyk's absence. The 30-year-old has spent most of his career as the San Jose Sharks' backup netminder.
