Must read on Daily Hockey Dose
He should miss four-to-six weeks.
Here's the official announcement, as read on NHL.com:
"Ducks forward Alex Killorn will undergo arthroscopic left knee surgery next week. He is expected to be out of the lineup four-to-six weeks.
Killorn has totaled six goals and 19 points in 34 games this season, his first as a Duck. He scored twice in Anaheim's comeback win over Florida Monday afternoon, including the game-winning goal in overtime. The 34-year-old had collected 11 points in his last 15 games and was tied for seventh among team leaders in scoring this season."
This is Killorn's second long-term injury this season. He was forced to miss the first ten games of the season after a finger injury during training camp.
This is a major blow to the Ducks. Killorn is one of the team's greatest leaders and he will be missed by his teammates.
