NHL Lightnings Jeff Halpern Looking at 6 months recover from Knee Surgery
NHL Lightnings Jeff Halpern heads for six months of rehabilitation following Wednesday’s successful surgery on his right knee.
Halpern, 32, a Tampa Bay Lightning center, blew out his knee a month ago while playing for Team USA in the world championship tournament. Surgeons repaired a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, a partial rupture of the medial collateral ligament and a small tear to the lateral meniscus.
The Lightning announced the results of Halpern’s surgery on Thursday. Halpern’s agent says it’s possible Halpern could return earlier than December, pending rehab results.
Halpern had repairs done to his left knee in 2002 while a member of the Washington Capitals.
