The struggling Seattle Kraken put Brandon Montour on injured reserve Monday as the high-scoring defenseman underwent hand surgery.
Montour, 31, is expected to miss at least the next four weeks of action.
Montour was involved in a skirmish where punches were thrown vs. the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 16. He did not return to that game and was scratched from the last two contests.
After winning a Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers in 2023-24, Montour debuted with the Kraken and tallied a career-high 18 goals a season ago. On the down side, the 10-year veteran was a career-worst minus-22.
Seattle is 2-10 in its last dozen games and have fallen into last place in the Western Conference.
Montour has six goals and 10 assists in 27 games this season. In 628 career contests while playing with Anaheim (2016-19), Buffalo (2018-21), Florida (2020-24) and Seattle, he has tallied 90 goals and 219 assists.
