New Jersey Devils Prospect Update: Orlov Out
Budding KHL star Daniil Orlov will likely miss the rest of the season after requiring back surgery from injuries sustained during a training accident. This is a serious blow as the 22-year-old defenseman was on pace for his best season with 11 points in 20 games. Orlov is still under contract with Spartak Moskva for another season.
Obviously, Devils fans hope for a full and speedy recovery. Back surgery can be tricky and one never knows what kind of player Orlov will be when he returns to game action. Orlov’s contract situation gives the Devils a full season next year to evaluate his progress before trying to bring him over. We all hope for the best.
