Cal Clutterbuck cut by skate, out for 'some extended time'
Cal Clutterbuck was apparently cut by a skate during New York's preseason opener and will be out of the lineup for a while. The mustached forward left the split-squad game following a hit from Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman.
Here's Arthur Staple's take on the news, and the exact language used by Islanders coach Jack Capuano in explaining the injury:
Jack Capuano says Cal Clutterbuck suffered a skate laceration and "will miss some extended time." #Isles
