Report: Aberg to Have Surgery for Torn Meniscus

Dallas Stars defenseman Anton Aberg is expected to undergo surgery on Monday for a torn meniscus, the team announced Sunday. The injury occurred during Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Blues.

The surgery will be performed by Dr. John O’Kane at the Carrell Clinic in Dallas. A timetable for Aberg’s return has not been established, but the Stars’ blueline depth could be tested in his absence.

Aberg, 27, has played in 32 games for the Stars this season, contributing three goals and six assists. He has been a steady and reliable presence on the team’s third defensive pairing.
