Forward Alex Nylander underwent knee surgery on Monday and will miss the first chunk of the season. "Alex Nylander sustained a knee injury during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs," the team said in a statement. "He initially rested and trained conservatively; unfortunately, his symptoms came back when he started to skate. Alex had successful surgery on Monday to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee."The Buffalo Sabres 2016 first round pick had an up and down start with the Blackhawks last year and was looking for a big rebound season. He'll have to wait to get that going.
MEDICAL UPDATE: Alex Nylander had successful surgery on Monday to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee.
Team physician Dr. Michael Terry says he expects Alex to return to hockey related activities in approximately four to six months. #Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/JUgHkXQwAV
