Sharks’ Torres to miss 3-4 months after ACL surgery

Raffi Torres

Sharks forward Raffi Torres is going to miss a bit more than six weeks with a torn ACL.

Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com reports the rugged forward will be out 3-4 months after having surgery to repair the torn ligament. Sharks GM Doug Wilson offered an encouraging update.

“Raffi’s surgery went very well and we look forward to having him back in our line-up later this season,” said Wilson.

In case you missed it, Torres was injured in an accidental collision with Ducks forward Emerson Etem.

The new diagnosis puts the Sharks in a bit of a hole as Torres had been getting spins with their top two lines for a bit in preseason. While he’s normally a third line agitator, he’s tried to apply more of his skill in San Jose.

Now the Sharks will potentially add Anthony Stewart into the fold to fill his spot in the lineup.
