Price, Dubnyk set to square off in battle of NHL's best goalies
Don't expect a lot of goals at the Bell Centre on Thursday night.
The Minnesota Wild roll into La Belle Province to take on the Montreal Canadiens, a game headlined by those between the pipes.
Devan Dubnyk and Carey Price will square off for the first time this season, both in the midst of stellar campaigns.
| Player | Record | GAA | Sv% | Shutouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | 18-4-2 | 1.87 | 0.936 | 2 |
| Dubnyk | 16-6-3 | 1.55 | 0.948 | 5 |
Price holds a slightly better record, while Dubnyk ranks atop the NHL in the other three categories.
Dubnyk and the Wild come in on an eight-game winning streak, while the Habs own the best home record in the league at 15-2-2.
The two All-Star goaltenders will only play each other twice this season, but expect them to battle for the Vezina Trophy all year long.
