Senators' Ryan leaves game with another hand injury
It may be time for Bobby Ryan to invest in better gloves.
The Ottawa Senators winger left Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks after he suffered a hand injury, marking the third time this season Ryan has been sidelined with the same ailment.
Ryan missed an eight-game stretch earlier this year due to a fractured finger. He then returned for 17 games before aggravating the injury in late December.
Senators coach Guy Boucher provided an update following Tuesday's game:
Boucher says Ryan (right hand injury) won’t be making the trip to Toronto. Q: is it long term? Boucher “can’t tell you that right now.”

The Senators head to Toronto on Wednesday to face the Maple Leafs before entering their bye week. The team is then off until Jan. 18, when it plays the St. Louis Blues.
Ryan has tallied 17 points in 31 games this season.
