Any update on Connor Brown?

[nuck]

On November 2nd I read he was going to be out indefinitely with a broken ankle. Have they mentioned anything about a return date?

i'm pretty sure indefinitely usually means around 3 months at the very least, he won't be back for awhile no matter how you define "indefinitely" unfortunately. IMO he'll play maybe the last 20 games of the season + playoffs at the very least. Kinda a sad injury to see being as he was able to produce last year with a much worse team, im sure he would love to be playing with this current squad.

Its not 3 months. Last I heard it was 6-8 weeks near the time of the injury

Expect him back 2nd week of December or mid December

I heard it was bad, and could be what the 2nd poster said

Honestly, a clean break is probably better that a really bad sprain. A really bad sprain can really linger.

Jaden Schwartz of the Blues suffered a similar injury blocking a shot and fracturing a bone in his ankle and his timeline is listed as 12 weeks to return.

Brown being listed as "out indefinitely" suggests long-term without the ability of the medical staff to put a "weeks" return due to the uncertainty.

The injury happened at the beginning of November so I wouldn't think we will be hearing much about a return date until 2016 at least for an unpdate on progress and then it all depends on how fast a healer Brown is.

The estimation is somewhere between 2-4 months time at present.

Probably will start skating sometime early/midDecember. Likely back a good week or two after he starts skating.

They teach d-men to block shots straight on so the padding in the fronts of the foot/ankle/leg can absorb the impact rather than turning and laying your leg down. Blocking a pass is different from blocking a shot. Painful lesson.

The hard part is getting the swelling down and getting the joint working again. The scar tissue that develops inside a joint is really painful to work out. The psychology of coming back from a painful break in an exposed area like the ankle is also brutal.

All the best to Brownie though - he is a determined guy by all accounts.

I learned this lesson last night... blocked a slapshot off in the inside of my foot, was able to finish the game in pain but can barely walk this morning this was a mens league game, i can only imagine an AHL calibre shot.
