On the Montreal Canadiens …
Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens announced yesterday that defenseman Shea Weber will be out for five to six months after having surgery on his right knee to repair a meniscal tear.
“With Shea currently rehabilitating from his March 13, 2018 left foot surgery (with recovery scheduled to take six months), it was planned by Shea and the Canadiens’ medical staff to have a consultation with the orthopedic knee surgeon. This appointment was delayed due to the foot surgery. Following consultation with both Dr. Robert LaPrade and Dr. Robert Anderson, the orthopedic foot surgeon, it was agreed that a knee arthroscopy was needed.”
The knee surgery was performed on June 19th, and it was deemed more serious than they originally thought. He’ll be out until mid-December.
