Backup Alex Stalock immediately entered the game in relief and remained in goal for the start of the third period.
Dubnyk will miss Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators and is day-to-day, the club announced Wednesday.
He had a 1-5-0 record with an .874 save percentage on the season entering Tuesday's matchup, which marked his 300th career start for the Wild.
