Here’s what you need to know: Zegras underwent surgery today for a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The Ducks also announced that the American will miss “approximately” six weeks of activity:

Six weeks of absence is a long time… But seeing him fall and realizing he couldn’t use his right leg after the injury raised a lot of concerns.
In the end – even though it’s not the same injury – it’s somewhat reminiscent of Patrik Laine’s situation.
However, it’s unfortunate for Zegras because he was having great moments before falling in battle.
It would have been a disaster otherwise, as he also missed 51 games last season due to a lower body injury. Difficult to progress during those times…
In Brief
– Great staff.
Brad Pascall, Joe Thornton and Hnat Domenichelli are returning to lead at the #SpenglerCup.

– Noteworthy:
Belichick’s five-year contract will pay $1 million a year in base salary and $9 million a year in supplemental income. He also can receive as much as $3.5 million in bonuses per year.
