Red Wings announce that Jared McIsaac has had shoulder surgery

Not great news from the Wings:

JARED McISAAC UNDERGOES SUCCESSFUL SHOULDER SURGERY

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jared McIsaac underwent successful surgery last week on his left shoulder. The procedure was performed by Dr. Kyle Anderson at UnaSource Surgery Center in Troy, Mich. McIsaac’s expected recovery time is five to six months. McIsaac previously underwent a similar procedure on his right shoulder prior to the 2019-20 season.

McIsaac, 20, began his professional hockey career last month after he was loaned to HPK in Finland’s SM-Liiga in September. A former second-round pick (36th overall) of Detroit in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, McIsaac wrapped up his major-junior career in 2019-20, splitting time with the Halifax Mooseheads and Moncton Wildcats in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and totaling 19 points (4-15-19) in 28 games. The Truro, Nova Scotia, native also captured a gold medal with Canada at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship, contributing four points (1-3-4) in seven games.

  1. I think he might be close to not being a prospect. He made the Canadian World Junior team but seemed to play, quietly. He got better as the tourney went on. He was just coming off another injury, which must have been tough. He showed some signs of why he got drafted, just hope this injury stuff is over.

    1. He’s very close to not being a prospect any more. Both shoulders have been operated upon, and the Wings are trying very hard to make sure that he puts these shoulder injuries behind him, but missing nearly two seasons’ worth of hockey is going to be hard for him to overcome.
