GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Grand Rapids Griffins first-year forward Tomas Nosek will miss an undetermined amount of time after he cut his hand in a household accident Monday night.

He did not practice Tuesday. Afterward, Griffins coach Jeff Blashill confirmed that the 22-year-old Nosek “cut himself last night opening a box.”

Blashill said he was still awaiting information on the extent of the injury. He said Nosek will be out for the immediate future, including Friday’s home game against Lake Erie.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound center/left wing was signed by the Detroit Red Wings this summer to a two-way free-agent contract.

Nosek, playing for HC Padubice, finish ninth in the Czech Extraliga in scoring last season with 19 goals and 44 points in 52 games.

In four games with the Griffins this season, Nosek has two assists, two penalty minutes and a plus-minus rating of minus-one.
