Hunwick will undergo sports hernia surgery and miss the remainder of the season, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.
Hunwick apparently suffered the initial injury Feb. 13 against the Canucks, but he continued to lace up and play up until Monday. He'll have a 10 week recovery period and is expected to resume skating in July, so the blueliner should be ready to go by the start of the 2016-17 season. The 30-year-old had 10 points in 60 games in his first season in Toronto and will be replaced on the top defensive pairing by Martin Marincin.
