Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg will be sidelined about a month due to a left hand injury he suffered in the 3-2 loss to Washington at the Winter Classic on Thursday.
Coach Joel Quenneville made the announcement regarding Versteeg, who was hurt when he was hit in the hand by a shot off the stick of Washington's Eric Fehr. Versteeg will likely avoid surgery.
In 34 games this season, Versteeg has nine goals and 18 assists.
