Hurricanes' Teuvo Teravainen breaks hand, out for first round

Carolina Hurricanes winger Teuvo Teravainen will miss the remainder of the first round after suffering a broken hand in his team's 4-3 overtime win Wednesday against the New York Islanders.

The Hurricanes, who have a 2-0 series lead, will be without one of their top-six forwards after Teravainen was injured on a slash from Islanders forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau. Teravainen had control of the puck on the inner half of the left faceoff circle when he launched a shot on net with Pageau extending his stick and striking Teravainen's hand almost instantaneously.
