Markov undergoes surgery - 6 months to recover
Defenceman Andrei Markov underwent knee surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. Estimates put recovery time at as much as six months, making him available to return in mid-November. So much for the heroic playoff comeback in 2010. Hopefully Markov's recovery time is accelerated for 2010-11 much like his injury earlier this season.
