Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau to undergo surgery to repair fractured finger
Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau was scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured finger.
Gaudreau suffered the injury in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over the Minnesota Wild. A timeline for his return will be provided in the coming days.
“It’s his finger so it can be four (weeks), it can be six, you don’t know,” Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. “For me, I’m just preparing for the worst-case scenario and that’s how it goes. But we won’t know anything on this injury until we hear from the doctors. It could be less, it could be more.”
Gaudreau left Tuesday’s game early in the third period after taking a slash to the hand.
