DETROIT - Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader will miss today's game against the Washington Capitals, general manager Ken Holland said.

Holland said before the game that he had no further update on Abdelkader's condition.

Abdelkader suffered a hand injury late in Saturday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center.

He was hit on the right hand by a shot from Marco Scandella 1:06 into overtime and didn't return to the game. He wasn't called upon during the eight-round shootout.

Abdelkader is fourth on the team with 23 goals and fifth in points with 44.

He has gone four games without a goal (one assist) but prior to that had scored a goal in four consecutive games and had scored 10 goals in 13 games.

His previous career highs were 10 goals (each of the past two seasons) and 28 points (in 2013-14).
