NEWARK, N.J. (AP) New Jersey Devils forward Jordin Tootoo has had wrist surgery and will miss the rest of the regular season.

Devils coach John Hynes disclosed on Friday that Tootoo had surgery on his right wrist to repair a tear in the sheath covering a tendon.

Tootoo has not played since Mar. 10. The Devils’ enforcer had four goals and five assists in 66 games.

New Jersey is seven points out of a playoff spot with four games left in the regular season.
