Canucks' Derek Dorsett: To undergo cervical fusion surgery

Dorsett (neck) is scheduled to undergo cervical fusion surgery to repair disc degeneration in his neck.

Analysis:

Dorsett is expected to make a full recovery from the procedure, but a firm timetable remains unclear heading into the procedure. The team should provide further details on a potential timeline after the procedure, but it doesn't appear as though he will be back on the ice anytime soon. The veteran winger's absence likely won't have a huge overall impact in the fantasy realm, as he's notched just four points through 14 games with the Canucks this season.
