Lubomir Visnovsky of Anaheim led NHL defencemen in points last season

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky is expected to be sidelined for a month after breaking a finger on his right hand in Friday's win over the Vancouver Canucks, the Ducks said Saturday.

Visnovsky, 35, broke the finger when hit with a shot late in the third period of Anaheim's 4-3 victory. Surgery will not be required.

He has one goal and three assists in 16 games this year after leading all National Hockey League defensemen with 68 points last season.
