Senators' Michalek to miss extended time with hand injury

The Ottawa Senators' loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday was a costly one.

Milan Michalek exited the game early with a hand injury, and the club announced after the game that he'll be "out awhile."

Michalek played 9:22 after 40 minutes, and finished with a shot on goal, and two penalty minutes.

The soon-to-be 31-year-old (on Dec. 7) has five goals and three assists in 24 games.
