SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour was placed on injured reserve Monday and will be out for at least four weeks after having hand surgery, the Kraken announced.

The 31-year-old Montour had missed the last two games after departing early from a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche last Tuesday. He is expected to be out of action until mid-to-late January.

In 27 games this season, Montour has six goals and 10 assists with a minus-4 rating. The Kraken are tied for last in the Western Conference and have lost 10 of 12 games.
