Yzerman undergoes surgery

TSN.ca Staff

5/2/2004

Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman underwent four-and-one-half hours of surgery on Saturday night at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Yzerman was struck in the face by a puck during the second period of Detroit's game against the Calgary Flames.

A shot by Red Wings defenceman Mathieu Schneider ricocheted off a player in front of the Calgary net and hit Yzerman squarely in the face as he stood to the left of the net. The injury forced him out for the remainder of the second-round playoff game, which Detroit lost 1-0.

Due to the injury, Yzerman experienced blurred vision in his left eye, which improved following the surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Yzerman will be out of the Red Wings lineup indefinitely.
