Kraken's Brandon Montour Undergoes Hand Surgery, Out At Least Four Weeks

Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour has undergone hand surgery and been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four weeks. The 31-year-old blueliner is expected to be out until mid-to-late January, having already missed the last two games. Through 27 games this season, Montour recorded six goals and 10 assists for 16 points, including four power-play points. His absence is a significant blow to the Kraken's defensive corps.
