New Jersey Devils' defenseman Mark Fayne had surgery Friday to repair the scapholunate ligament in his left wrist and as a result will be out for three to four months.
"It's something that has been nagging him for quite a while," General Manager Lou Lamoriello told Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger. "He could play with it, but we felt it was best to get it repaired 100 percent so it won't bother him again, which meant surgery. We say 3-4 months. Who knows? There's always that chance (he will miss the start of the season). It's just a matter of how he heals."
Lamoriello said Fayne, 25, played through the injury during the playoffs.
Qualified – The Devils issued qualifying offers to Fayne, defenseman Matt Corrente and right wing Vladimir Zharkov. They are scheduled to become restricted free agents on July 1.
