| 6th December, 2007 - 9:15 am |  Washington Post - The Washington Capitals revealed yesterday that Boyd Gordon could miss several weeks because of a broken right hand.
Gordon missed the past two games after being struck on the glove by a puck in the first period against the Florida Panthers on Nov. 28. The checking-line center finished the game and even scored in the shootout, but an X-ray taken that night discovered a fracture.
"It's already been a week, but we'll see where we are in about 10 days," said Gordon, who is one of the Capitals' best defensive forwards and leads the team in faceoff percentage, winning 54.2 percent of his draws. "I'm hoping it will be fine after that."
Gordon said he wasn't certain exactly how he suffered the injury but recalled being hit on the knuckle side of his hand when he attempted to break up a defenseman-to-defenseman pass early in Capitals' 2-1 loss against Florida. He said he immediately knew something was wrong but continued to play because he did not know the extent of the damage. [READ] |
