Price and Ovi are amazing, but I think Dubnyk deserves a solid mention in any Hart conversation.
He's 26-6-1 (5 shut-outs) so far with Minnie. A .939 save percentage and a 1.70 GAA in those 34 games. Since the All-Star break, the Wild have 49 points in 30 games (league leading), and are an NHL-best record of 26-6-2 since January 15th. A playoff spot wasn't even imaginable for the pre-Dubnyk Wild. He carried them to their current playoff position, arguably, single handedly.

Is Price the best goalie, and deserving of the Vezina...yes.
But Dubnyk is, arguably, much more valuable to his team than Price is.
