It may be time for Bobby Ryan to invest in better gloves.

The Ottawa Senators winger left Tuesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks after he suffered a hand injury, marking the third time this season Ryan has been sidelined with the same ailment.

Ryan missed an eight-game stretch earlier this year due to a fractured finger. He then returned for 17 games before aggravating the injury in late December.

No timeline has been provided for Ryan's latest injury.

The veteran forward has tallied 17 points in 31 games this season.
