Winnik good to go after having ear glued back together

Daniel Winnik is playing it by ear.
The Washington Capitals forward was believed to have lost a piece of his right ear after taking a slap shot to the head Thursday.
Turns out, it was all just a matter of cut and paste.
Caps Daniel Winnik didn't require stitches on his ear. It was just glued back together after a small split. No concussion concerns.
