Kane to undergo surgery after injuring left wrist

Published November 20, 2014

The Chicago Blackhawks announced Friday that forward Patrick Kane will require surgery after injuring his wrist during offseason workouts.

"Patrick Kane sustained a left wrist injury which came to light recently during his off-season training," head team physician Dr. Michael Terry said in a statement released by the team. "He will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair a scaphoid fracture. We anticipate a full recovery in 6-8 weeks and in time for training camp. We do not anticipate any long-term issues."

Kane finished with 27 goals and 73 points in 73 games this past season, with an ankle injury suffered in a Dec. 5 game against the Flames costing him some time on the sidelines. During his first three NHL seasons, Kane missed only two games.

The No. 1 pick in the 2007 Entry Draft, the 22-year-old forward has compiled 103 goals and 303 points in 317 regular-season games. He also has 20 goals and 48 points in 45 playoff games, including the Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime of Game 6 against the Flyers in the 2010 Final.
