Winnipeg Jets goaltender Peter Budaj suffered a hand injury in his first game for the St. John's IceCaps on Friday night.
Oh boy. Budaj heads to the dressing room quickly after sustaining a right hand injury. Seems to be blood on the ice. Hellebuyck to take over

Budaj later returned to the bench.
He was acquired from the Montreal Canadiens last Sunday for winger Eric Tangradi.
The veteran netminder was assigned to the AHL affiliate Tuesday.
