Minnesota Wild captain Jared Spurgeon avoided a season-ending injury when he was slew-footed by Nashville’s Zachary L’Heureux, but Spurgeon won’t be back anytime soon. He’ll be sidelined two to three weeks,

General manager Bill Guerin called Spurgeon “week to week” without going into further specifics about the injury other than confirming surgery will not be required.

Even though he is not deemed a "repeat offender" by the NHL, at only 21 years old, L'Heureux has been suspended 11 times at lower levels.
