Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber is out indefinitely after injuring his skull in a game and undergoing surgery. Multiple reports say the injury happened during the Wild’s Friday preseason finale against the Dallas Stars.
The incident occurred when Faber is struck on the helmet by a shot taken by Dallas defenseman Miro Heiskanen. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports report that Faber has a fractured skull and has had surgery to repair the injury. Both outlets also state that there is currently no set timetable for his return to play.
While the accounts are consistent on the cause of the injury, the key details they share most are that the injury is a fractured skull, surgery has taken place, and his status remains indefinite. None of the sources provided specifies a recovery date, further medical updates, or additional consequences beyond the surgery and absence from play.
