Wild’s Dubnyk played with broken finger in Round 1

Minnesota Wild netminder Devan Dubnyk said Wednesday he played with broken index finger throughout an opening-round loss to the Dallas Stars.

He broke the digit in Game 1.

Dubnyk will be the only one who really knows how much the injury affected his performance, but he didn't have a banner series. He allowed 20 goals, which stands to be the most in Round 1.

And while some of those goals can be ascribed to chance, there was no excusing his over-read late in Game 6 - a decision that halted the club's valiant third-period comeback attempt.
