Wild captain Jared Spurgeon’s scary injury will keep him sidelined for two to three weeks
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Wild captain Jared Spurgeon avoided a season-ending injury when he was slew-footed by Nashville’s Zachary L’Heureux, but Spurgeon won’t be back anytime soon.
He’ll be sidelined two to three weeks, President of Hockey Operations Bill Guerin announced, because of a lower-body injury that won’t require surgery.
“It’s not as bad as we originally thought,” Guerin said. “It’s still bad enough because he’s not in our lineup.”
His right leg bent awkwardly during the high-speed collision, and Spurgeon was helped off the ice with his right skate lifted. L’Heureux was assessed a match penalty and Thursday, the NHL suspended the rookie for three games.
Although L’Heureux has been disciplined previously in his career, including in the American Hockey League, he had never been fined or suspended by the NHL and therefore was a first-time offender.
“The league has their process, and they handled it,” said Guerin, who mentioned he was “not happy” with the play. “We live with that. In the end, it doesn’t get our player back. That’s what makes me lose sleep at night is they get their player back in three games. Ours is out two to three weeks.”
The Minnesota Wild received some concerning news regarding their captain, Jared Spurgeon, as it was revealed that he will be sidelined for two to three weeks due to a scary injury. Spurgeon suffered the injury during a recent game and will now be forced to miss significant time as he recovers.Spurgeon has been a key player for the Wild this season, leading the team both on and off the ice. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team as they look to continue their strong start to the season.
Despite the setback, the Wild remain optimistic that Spurgeon will make a full recovery and return to the lineup stronger than ever. In the meantime, the team will need to rely on their depth and resilience to overcome this challenge.
We wish Jared Spurgeon a speedy and successful recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the ice soon. Stay tuned for updates on his progress as he works towards making his return to the Wild lineup.
