Breaking: Canucks Defenseman to undergo wrist surgery!

The Canucks haven't shutout anybody yet this season and the loss of their stay-at-home defenseman Erik Gudbranson isn't going to help. Gudbranson is reportedly set to undergo wrist surgery, as per the Canucks official twitter account.

"Erik suffered ligament damage to his wrist this season that has affected his wrist function," said Benning. "Continued treatment and rehabilitation have not improved his condition and Erik and our Canucks medical team believe that surgery offers the best long-term outcome and are confident in a full recovery. Erik's leadership qualities and strong physical presence will be missed but this is a decision that best supports a long, productive and healthy career." as per NHL.com

It is still too soon to project a timeline for Gudbranson's recovery.
