Abdelkader was dealing with a dislocated finger for the final five games of the regular season and the team's playoff series, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

In the 10 total games played since suffering the injury on March 29 in Montreal, Abdelkader had two goals, no assists, and a minus-5 rating. The injury didn't stop Abdelkader from playing his hard-nosed brand of hockey, but it most definitely hampered his offensive abilities. There's no indication as to whether the injury will require surgery, but expect Abdelkader to be ready for the start of next season.
