Duchene Loses Tip of Finger Blocking a Shot
Matt Duchene's resurgence in Nashville has been great to watch, as in the past two seasons he has been on the edge of a point per game.
He is also a great defensive presence, with good stickwork and shot blocking.
After blocking a shot last week, he lost the tip of his finger:
