Predators' Matt Duchene Lost Part of His Finger in Nasty Shot-Blocking Injury, per Report

Predators forward Matt Duchene suffered a hand injury after blocking a shot on March 26 against the Maple Leafs. The veteran forward exited the game and did not return, and he hasn't suited up since.

TNT analyst Darren Pang provided an update on Duchene on NHL on TNT—and it is pretty gruesome. Per Pang, Duchene lost part of his finger on the play. The injury, which the 32-year-old sustained on his left ring finger, was so severe that part of his finger tip reportedly remained in his glove when he removed it. 

The Predators described Duchene as being "week-to-week" with a hand injury, but have not provided a further update on his status.
