Canucks defenceman Gudbranson to undergo surgery to repair wrist ligament damage

Edit

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Erik Gudbranson will undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his wrist.

The team said a timeline on Gudbranson’s recovery will be provided after the surgery.

The announcement comes after the Canucks moved Gudbranson to injured reserve last week for what was then an unspecified ailment.

The third-overall pick in 2010 has six points and a minus-14 rating over 30 games this season.
