An emergency appendectomy will sideline Thunder Bay’s Patrick Sharp for the first couple of weeks of the regular season.
The Chicago Blackhawks forward is expected to miss up to a month, the NHL team said in release issued on Monday.
“Patrick Sharp underwent an emergent surgical appendectomy this evening after experiencing some abnormal abdominal discomfort. The surgery was successful and I anticipate a full recovery in approximately three to four weeks," said team physician Michael Terry.
Sharp had 34 goals and 71 points in 74 games for the Hawks in 2010-11.
