Devan Dubnyk (born May 4, 1986) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Oilers in the first round (14th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Dubnyk spent his junior career with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Between 2001 and 2006 he played in 192 games for the Blazers, compiling an 83-87-14 record, 2.70 goals against average (GAA), .911 save percentage and 15 shutouts. In 2004 he was named the CHL Scholastic Player of the Year as the major-junior player best able to combine success on the ice and in school. He was a member of Team Canada at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Vancouver, though he did not see any action behind starter Justin Pogge, who backstopped Canada to the gold medal.

Dubnyk began his professional career in 2006 with the Stockton Thunder of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) where he compiled a strong 24–11–7 record. His 24 wins, 2.56 GAA and .921 save percentage set club records and he was selected to be an ECHL All-Star for the 2006-07 season.[1] In 2007-08 Dubnyk began to play full-time for what was then Edmonton's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Springfield Falcons. In three seasons with the Falcons, Dubnyk played 128 games, compiling a 40-75-4 record. In 2008-09, Dubnyk set a club record for most appearances by a goaltender with 62.

Dubnyk was called up to the Oilers early in the 2009-10 season after Oilers starting goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin underwent season-ending back surgery. For the remainder of the season he served as back-up to Jeff Deslauriers. Dubnyk made his first NHL appearance on November 28, 2009, replacing Deslauriers in a 7-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Dubnyk allowed 3 goals on 24 shots.[2] It took him until March 19, 2010, to register a win, and it came via a shootout versus the Detroit Red Wings. Dubnyk made 31 saves in the win.[3] On March 21, 2010, Dubnyk recorded the first regulation win of his career, making 27 saves in a 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.[4]

Dubnyk was named to the Canadian roster for the 2010 IIHF World Championship, though he did not see any action in the tournament.[5]

On July 13, 2010, The Oilers re-signed Dubnyk to a two-year contract.[6]

On February 7, 2011, Dubnyk earned his first career shutout by stopping 37 shots in a 4-0 win against the Nashville Predators.[7]
