Getty Images Significant information from the Anaheim Geese on Tuesday, as a thin defense received a little bit thinner due to Sheldon Souray’s wrist harm.
From the Geese:
Sheldon Souray suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist whereas figuring out (off the ice) on July 17. He had surgery to restore the damage at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles on July 25 (Dr. Steven Shin). He’s anticipated to be out four-to-six months (from the time of surgical procedure).
That places Souray’s return round December or January, taking away a physical presence and energy-play level man for most of the season’s first half.
The Geese crammed the spot with 27-yr-old Mark Fistric, who had six assists in 25 games with the Edmonton Oilers final season.
Fistric plays the left side, which is where Souray performs. We’re guessing Luca Sbisa may get a bit more ice time in Souray’s absence, but it surely’ll be attention-grabbing to see where Bruce Boudreau turns for his prime-pairing partner with Francois Beauchamin.
Maybe just a few months off keeps Souray fresh for later within the season. Then once more, they noticed him change into a pylon by the top of last year’s 48-recreation season, becoming a defensive liability and a wholesome scratch in the postseason.
