CHICAGO — Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane has a fractured left wrist and will need six to eight weeks to recover.
The team disclosed the injury Friday, saying it was discovered recently during his offseason training. Blackhawks team doctor Michael Terry said Kane will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a scaphoid fracture. Both Terry and Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said Kane is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp.
Kane apparently suffered the injury in the second-to- last game of the regular season.
