NEWARK -- Devils defenseman Mirco Mueller fractured his left clavicle during Sunday's 7-5 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center in Chicago.
Mueller will undergo surgery on Thursday. He is currently out indefinitely, and the Devils will have a better timetable for recovery once the surgery is complete.
The 22-year-old defenseman exited Sunday's game in the opening minutes when he was checked high by Blackhawks center John Hayden. Mueller skated off under his own power while favoring his left shoulder.
Devils coach John Hynes said Mueller also went through the concussion protocol after the hit, but he did not suffer a concussion.
