Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber is out indefinitely after suffering a skull fracture when a puck struck his head during the team’s preseason finale against the Dallas Stars. Multiple outlets report he undergoes surgery following the injury.
The Wild do not provide a specific return date. NDTV and Yahoo Sports both cite comments from Minnesota officials indicating that Faber is doing well, but there is no timeline for when he will return to play. Fox News similarly describes the fracture and the fact that he is expected to miss games.
While all outlets focus on the severity of the injury and the lack of a timetable, they differ slightly in detail and emphasis. Fox News stresses the injury outcome and surgery, NDTV highlights the absence of a return timeline with a quote attributed to GM Bill Guerin, and Yahoo Sports adds background noting Faber’s experience, including U.S. Olympic appearances.
