A lucky break for New Jersey Devils' Holik

"When you have a bone coming through your skin, there's a tremendous chance of infection. (The doctor) said if it was any worse, I could've lost a finger," Holik revealed after stopping by the Devils' practice facility at the Prudential Center. "It wasn't just a broken finger. This was an open wound. Infection was a problem, the biggest worry the doctor had."

Holik said the puck crushed his finger against his stick and the sight of blood is what forced him to leave the game.

"Yes. That's why I went off the ice," he explained. "I was ticked off. We were having a good power play and I said, 'Damn, I've got to get stitches.' But I needed more than that."
