Surprising Player Suffers Year Ending Injury Following Statement
In a significant blow to the Minnesota Wild's playoff aspirations, Captain Jared Spurgeon will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, according to a recent announcement.
The defenseman will undergo both hip and back surgeries, a setback that comes at a crucial juncture for the team. The Wild have made the strategic move to place Spurgeon on LTIR, unlocking approximately $7.5 million in salary cap flexibility.
Last season showcased Spurgeon's impact with 11 goals, 23 assists, and an impressive +32 plus/minus rating in 79 games. Unfortunately, limited to only 16 games this season, he has registered five assists.
