Details of Matt Duchene's Gruesome Injury Have Been Revealed
Matt Duchene is one of the most tenacious players in the league, and he will do anything for his team to win. Unfortunately, last week, this meant a big sacrifice.
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:
When Duchene took off his glove after blocking the shot, the tip of his finger was still inside the glove
This gruesome injury is just a testament to how perseverant Duchene is, as he is set to return soon as the Predators desperately try to squeeze into the playoffs.
He may be down a fingertip, but he has quite the story to tell!
