RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Carolina Hurricanes rookie defenseman Charles Alexis
Legault had surgery to repair multiple torn extensor tendons in his right hand
after getting cut by a skate blade during a game over the weekend in Toronto.
General manager Eric Tulsky announced Tuesday that the operation was completed
on Monday by Dr. Harrison Tuttle at Raleigh Orthopaedic.
Legault's hand was sliced by one of Nick Robertson's skates during a scrum at
the end of the first period, while the Maple Leafs forward was prone on the ice
following a hit.
The team put Legault on injured reserve and said he was expected to miss 3-4
months. The Hurricanes in a statement thanked the Leafs' medical staff for
swift and decisive assistance in triage care of the injury.
Legault, 22, played in his first eight NHL games this season as injuries piled
up on the blue line for Carolina.
