Anaheim Ducks defensemen Sami Vatanen and Hampus Lindholm need offseason shoulder surgeries, GM Bob Murray said on Thursday.
Lindholm is expected to miss 4-5 months while Vatanen’s rehab will take longer.
Also on Thursday: Nate Thompson was said to have played during the Ducks’ postseason run with a hairline fracture in his ankle. Kevin Bieksa suited up for the final three games of the season with a torn MCL.
And finally, Patrick Eaves and Rickard Rakell’s high-ankle sprains kept them from being more effective in the playoffs.
