Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Gustav Nyquist underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a labral tear of his left shoulder and is expected to make a full recovery in five to six months, Blue Jackets General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. The surgery was performed by Dr. Anthony Miniaci at the Cleveland Clinic.

"This was a chronic issue that Gus has been dealing with for a number of seasons," said Kekalainen. "He has been able to perform at a high level, but a cyst in the area developed over time that has inhibited his ability to continue to do so. As a result, surgery was the best course of action and we look forward to having him back at full strength this season."
