NHL network is reporting Modano has a severed flexor tendon in the wrist. They say he is out indefinitely. Complete recovery time can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months... many variables.

Well, I didn't see that one coming, I was really hoping it was something minor. Here's to a fast recovery with as little variation as possible to delay his health.

Well that definitely doesn't sound good...

Get better soon!

[Hockeytown0001]

Not cool.

[mindfly]

Thosef****** skates can do alot of damage, they are worse than groin and most knee injuries, if it slices you open you're gone for weeks/months :/

[puckloo39]

Get better, Mike... that just sucks. You will be missed while you're recuperating.

[zombi]

No Mo!

[hokeychik22]

thats what happens sometimes when you get slashed by a skate.

I guess that means Hudler, Miller and Eaves are all in. Good thing we didn't dump Huds like some people on here wanted to do yesterday....

Draper should be returning this week. That dream can still continue.

[KrazyGangsta]

Modano should take extra time to recover and not rush things. Good part is he could still skate but with no contact.

[mindfly]

if he's out three months he might not reach the 50games played bonus in his contract and no carry over caphit for next season for thw wings

Draper will sit most games or they will alternate Miller/Eaves and Draper on the 4th line. Huds doesn't fit in th 4th line roll and Abby is to good to relegate to the 4th line.

My bet is that we see Abby/Huds/Clears on the 3rd line.

Helm and Miller/Eaves/Draper on the 4th.

That blows..Huge hit to the line-up.

My guess is that Abdelkader will slot back to center and will play the 3rd line with Hudler and Cleary.

[VM1138]

That is a bad injury. Hope he recovers as soon as possible. It's been a rough year for him so far.

I'm calling it now. Abdelkader with 20+ points in 30-35 games with that line.

Modano has already underwent surgery

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Bad news. However, more playing time for Abs. f*** yeah...

[mindfly]

Yep huge opportunity for abdelkader

I say this every single time an injury like this happens, but given the pace & intensity of the NHL I am amazed there are not more injuries like this.

Sucks big style for Modano though.
