NHL » Andrei Loktionov to undergo surgery, will miss four months

Andrei Loktionov will undergo surgery, taking him out of the lineup for four months, reports Rick Hammond of LAKingsInsider.com.

Andrei Loktionov will have surgery to repair a torn capsule in his shoulder and will be out of action approximately four months, according to Dean Lombardi. It sounded as though Loktionov’s surgery and Thomas Hickey’s surgery will both take place relatively soon.

Loktionov was injured in his NHL debut on November 25, after being called up from the AHL's Manchester Monarchs.
