A player indeed had to undergo emergency surgery following Thursday night’s game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Minnesota Wild.
Forward Mats Zuccarello had to undergo rapid surgery shortly after leaving the ice, having been struck by a puck.
Zuccarello placed on injured reserve after game against the Habs
It’s a major loss for Minnesota. A shot from his teammate Brock Faber appeared to hit him directly to the groin area.
«We learned today that the 37-year-old Norwegian underwent emergency surgery last night. He will be out for a period of three to four weeks, according to initial estimates.» – TVA Sports
It was a costly victory for the Wild, who also lost the services of center Joel Eriksson Ek last night.
Details will follow, but these are undoubtedly two major issues to watch over there.
Zuccarello, 37, is a forward standing 5 feet 8 inches and weighing 181 pounds. He was the Wild’s third leading scorer this season, with 14 points in 16 games, behind Kirill Kaprizov with 30 points and Matthew Boldy with 17 points.
Last season, the veteran recorded 63 points in 69 games, with a career total of 650 points over 851 NHL games.
He truly has an inspiring journey, and we wish him a swift and healthy recovery.
