Senators' Marc Methot: Out weeks following slash to finger

Methot (hand) is expected to miss "weeks" after his finger was slashed by Sidney Crosby in Thursday's game against the Penguins, Bruce Garrioch of TSN reports.

Analysis:

No penalty was called on the gruesome play that severed the tip of a finger on Methot's left hand. Given the return timeline -- in the best case scenario -- there will be just a couple of games left on the regular-season schedule by the time the defenseman is ready to return. In the meantime, Fredrik Claesson and/or Jyrki Jokipakka are in line for more minutes.
