Flames' Johnny Gaudreau: Suffers broken finger

Gaudreau will require surgery on a broken finger suffered in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

There have been no indications yet regarding a timeline for Gaudreau's return, but it's likely he will be out weeks rather than days. With the Flames season already on the rocks early on, losing their leading scorer could be the final straw for their 2016-17 campaign. Until Johnny Hockey is cleared to return, fantasy owners should expect some line shuffling in Calgary, with Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett the leading candidates for the top-line spot.
