Clutterbuck went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Wild, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck's late exit from the game was not explained by head coach Lane Lambert in his postgame comments. This leaves Clutterbuck day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Canadiens. If he can't play, Ross Johnston would likely take his spot on the fourth line.

Clutterbuck scored a goal and delivered seven hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck cut the Islanders' deficit to 4-2 late in the second period, deflecting a Scott Mayfield shot past Jack Campbell. The goal was Clutterbuck's first since Dec. 9, as he'd missed the Islanders' previous eight contests with an upper-body injury. The veteran winger isn't likely to offer much production offensively on New York's fourth line, but he could provide value in leagues that reward physical play . Clutterbuck now has four goals, two assists, and 105 hits through 27 games.
