"He's good to go, no problems," Wild coach Mike Yeo told KFAN 1003 radio in Minnesota on Tuesday morning.

Dubnyk admitted he was nursing the injury after coming on in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Sunday's 5-4 setback to the Winnipeg Jets. Dubnyk has been told that he can not worsen the injury by playing, according to the team.
