Earlier this week, HockeyBuzz blogger John Jaeckel, suggested that Patrick Kane had a bum wrist that would require surgery to correct.
This blog cautioned readers to take the report with a grain of salt because Jaeckel has a reputation for floating stories.
In this case, he was right.
The Blackhawks released a statement Friday
saying that Patrick Kane does have a bum wrist that will require surgery and 6-8 weeks of rehab:
Patrick Kane sustained a left wrist injury which came to light recently during his off-season training. He will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair a scaphoid fracture. We anticipate a full recovery in 6-8 weeks and in time for training camp. We do not anticipate any long-term issues."
