Blackhawks' Forsling out 14 weeks following wrist surgery

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Gustav Forsling underwent surgery on his right wrist, the team announced Tuesday.

Team physician Dr. Michael Terry said that the expected recovery time is 14 weeks.

The 22-year-old Forsling spent the majority of 2017-18 with the Blackhawks, logging 19:09 of average ice time while netting 13 points in 41 games. In another 31 games with AHL affiliate Rockford, Forsling added 10 points including five in the postseason.

Forsling was set to compete in training camp for a spot on the Blackhawks' blue line, but will now be out until early November.
