Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks after having surgery on his broken left hand, the team said Sunday.
Rickard sustained the injury while blocking a shot in the third period of a shootout loss to Columbus on Saturday night.
The injury timeline means Rakell would miss the NHL Global Series against the Nashville Predators in his native Sweden on Nov. 14 and 16.
