NEW YORK-Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby (No. 1), Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk (No. 2) and San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns (No. 3) have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the month of March.
Dubnyk went 10-2-1 with a 2.06 goals-against average, .927 save percentage and one shutout in 14 appearances to propel the Wild (38-29-11, 87 points) to a 10-4-1 March, one win shy of the franchise record for any calendar month. He yielded two or fewer goals in nine of his 14 outings, highlighted by a 29-save shutout March 26 against the Colorado Avalanche-the Wild's closest competition in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The 29-year-old Regina, Sask., native became the third goaltender in club history to reach the 30-win milestone; he owns a 32-23-6 record with a 2.30 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and five shutouts in 63 games this season.
