Blake Speers Injury

[HFP]

Blake Speers fractured his wrist in Windsor this past weekend. He was flown to New Jersey where the Devils doctor could look at the injury. He will need surgery Monday and will be missing for at the MINIMUM 6 weeks.

This is a huge blow to the team as it was his first game back, and we are really struggling to find ourselves in the early stages of this season.

This will be a huge blow to him and his chance to play for Canada, since he was getting playing time with the Devils on the Penalty Kill he probably would have been a good fit for the Canadian team in a defensive role
