Cal Clutterbuck missed 30 games after his left wrist was slashed by Patrice Bergeron’s skate blade in Boston on Dec. 19, 2019. The gritty right wing said on Monday he’s still dealing with numbness in three fingers as a result.
"I still have issues with my hand," Clutterbuck said after the first on-ice sessions of Islanders’ training camp at Northwell Health Ice Center. "I have full function and I have strength so it’s really not that big a deal."
Clutterbuck said he didn’t have good strength in his hand when he returned to play on Feb. 29 but added he was "fine" by the time the postseason began in August.
