The New York Islanders announced that winger Cal Clutterbuck’s Tuesday ended early thanks to an upper-body injury.
It’s unclear how Clutterbuck was injured (feel free to share details in the comments), but he seemed aware that something was awry during the game:
Clutterbuck angrily slammed the bench door four or five times. Now headed to locker room.

The Ottawa Senators may be relieved to see the 26-year-old off the ice. Clutterbuck is one of the hardest (or at least most frequent) hitters in the league; He came into Tuesday fourth in the NHL with 268 hits in 72 games played.
