Tatar sidelined 4-6 months following shoulder surgery

Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Tatar will use the offseason to rehab from shoulder surgery.

Red Wings general manager Ken Holland announced Tuesday that Tatar will need the next four-to-six months to rehab following the procedure, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

That timeline should have him ready for Red Wings training camp in the fall. Detroit will not compete in this year's playoffs after missing the postseason for the first time since 1990.

Tatar appeared in all 82 games this season, leading the team with 25 goals.
