NHL.com: The Columbus Blue Jackets announced that forward Gustav Nyquist will miss the start of next season after having surgery on Tuesday to repair a labral tear in his left shoulder.
He is expected to be out for five to six months. If the season were to start at the beginning of January, he could miss at least three months of the season.
“This was a chronic issue that Gus has been dealing with for a number of seasons,” Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. “He has been able to perform at a high level, but a cyst in the area developed over time that has inhibited his ability to continue to do so.
