Defenseman Rod Langway of the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals suffered a cut tendon in his left leg in Game 1 Monday night of the Capitals’ Patrick Division final series with the New Jersey Devils and will miss the rest of the best-of-seven series.

Langway suffered a 3-inch cut in his leg when he was checked by New Jersey’s Pat Verbeek with seven minutes remaining in the game, which the Capitals won, 3-1. Verbeek stuck his skate out and it inadvertently cut across the back of Langway’s leg.
