Minnesota governor dons Coyotes jersey after losing three-sport wager
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton made good on his word Wednesday when he publicly donned an Arizona Coyotes jersey.
Dayton had a friendly wager with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey after the states' respective professional football, hockey and basketball teams met in a span of four days earlier this month. Ducey recorded a clean sweep as the Arizona Cardinals posted a 23-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 10, the Coyotes skated to a 2-1 triumph over the Wild the following day and the Phoenix Suns secured a 108-101 win over the Timberwolves on Dec. 13.

With that, Dayton showed his loyalty by putting Dubnyk's Wild jersey on top of his Arizona sweater.
Signed to a six-year, $26 million deal in the summer, Dubnyk posted a 27-9-2 mark with five shutouts, a 1.78 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in 39 games with Minnesota last season. The 29-year-old Saskatchewan native was acquired from Arizona on Jan. 14 for a third-round pick.
