Jared McIsaac Undergoes Successful Shoulder Surgery


DETROIT
 – Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jared McIsaac underwent successful surgery last week on his left shoulder. The procedure was performed by Dr. Kyle Anderson at UnaSource Surgery Center in Troy, Mich. McIsaac’s expected recovery time is five to six months. McIsaac previously underwent a similar procedure on his right shoulder prior to the 2019-20 season.
McIsaac, 20, began his professional hockey career last month after he was loaned to HPK in Finland’s SM-Liiga in September. A former second-round pick (36th overall) of Detroit in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, McIsaac wrapped up his major-junior career in 2019-20, splitting time with the Halifax Mooseheads and Moncton Wildcats in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and totaling 19 points (4-15-19) in 28 games. The Truro, Nova Scotia, native also captured a gold medal with Canada at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship, contributing four points (1-3-4) in seven games.
