Tough luck for Mikkel Boedker following injury suffered on Sunday.

First the good news, it appears by all accounts that Boedker is alright and will be making a full recovery. Boedker underwent surgery today to remove his spleen following an injury he suffered Sunday night when his Arizona Coyotes took on the Winnipeg Jets. The Coyotes provided the official update via the team's Twitter account, and according to multiple reports Boedker is expected to miss up to six weeks. The Oilers Tyler Pitlick suffered a similar injury, and underwent a similar surgery in December and has yet to return. The Coyotes have placed Boedker on injured reserve and we wish him a speedy recovery.
