With the sting of a first-round playoff elimination only four days old, Matt Dumba hesitated when asked about the injury that cost him 12 games in April and limited his effectiveness during the Wild's playoff ouster against the St. Louis Blues. "Yeah, I punctured my lung, dislocated one of my ribs, broke another,'' the defenseman said Monday during the team's end-of-season interviews at Xcel Energy Center.
