To everyone's surprise, the NHL announced something very unexpected.
It was confirmed that Canucks defenseman Filip Hronek didn't have any work done for his upper body, but had successfully gone through a lower body procedure and will be out a minimum of 8-weeks.

It has all changed now as he did end up having a procedure done, just not at all related to his upper body.
