Blackhawks defenseman Brandon Davidson will undergo surgery on his right knee Tuesday, the team announced Saturday afternoon. His timetable for return will be determined after the surgery.
Chicago placed Davidson on injured reserve Nov. 16 after he injured his right leg four days prior in the Blackhawks’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Carolina. He played 12:33 minutes in the game.
Davidson had one assist in the Blackhawks’ 6-3 home loss to the Lightning on Oct. 21. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound defenseman has skated in only seven regular-season games on Chicago’s third defensive pairing.
