The Tampa Bay Lightnings Provide Crucial Update On Mikhail Sergachev's Injury
The Tampa Bay Lightning provided an update on defenseman Mikhail Sergachev after his scary injury during last night's game against the New York Rangers.
According to the team, Sergachev underwent surgery today to stabilize fractures to both the tibia and fibula in his left leg.
"Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev underwent successful surgery today in New York to stabilize fractures to both the tibia and fibula in his left leg, the team has announced. Sergachev is expected to return to Tampa in the coming days to immediately begin rehabilitation. A timetable for his return to the ice has not yet been established."
Typically, recovery from this type of surgery takes 10 to 12 weeks before putting full weight on the leg. While there's no official word yet, the chances of Sergachev returning this regular season are slim, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's out until the 2024-25 season.
