Matt Duchene loses part of his finger in horrific hockey injury.
Gruesome details regarding a horrific injury suffered by National Hockey League veteran Matt Duchene.
We now have more details about just how bad the injury to Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene truly is, but be forewarned this is not for the faint of heart.
On Sunday, National Hockey League analyst Darren Peng revealed that Duchene had quite literally lost a part of his finger after he was struck by a blistering slap shot. That slap shot came courtesy of Predators teammate Dante Fabbro, who fired the shot off during the second period of last Sunday's game between the Predators and Toronto Maple Leafs. Duchene immediately jumped up in pain and rushed off the ice holding his hand up in a bizarre fashion, of course we now know the reason was that the tip of his finger was quite literally missing.
Here's a look at the shot striking his hand:
And a look at Duchene leaving the ice holding his hand out:
According to Peng's comments on Sunday, Duchene was heard saying that the tip of his finger was still inside of his glove when he removed his hand from the glove, something that must have been truly horrific for Duchene to experience.
I can only hope that Duchene will make a full and speedy recovery.
