Hurricanes' Victor Rask: Undergoes hand surgery, out indefinitely

Rask underwent surgery on his right hand following a kitchen incident and is out indefinitely.

Here's more bad news from the guy who missed the final nine games of the 2017-18 campaign with a shoulder injury, which also required surgery. According to this official report from the Hurricanes, Rask injured the fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand while chopping food. Czech prospect Martin Necas' odds of cracking the Opening Night roster are seemingly higher than ever in the wake of this unfortunate news about Rask, a middle-six contributor.
