Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa is expected to miss two to five weeks as he undergoes surgery to remove scar tissue in his left hand, the team announced Friday.
The procedure could mark the end of his season, as the Ducks sit one point outside the final wild-card spot in the West with 11 games remaining.
The 36-year-old is playing out the conclusion of his two-year, $8-million contract, and has eight assists in 59 games this season.
