ANAHEIM, Calif. - Anaheim Ducks defenceman Francois Beauchemin underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
He is expected to be sidelined about six months. Beauchemin was injured during a 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville on Nov. 14. He will be placed on long-term injured reserve.
Beauchemin had four goals and one assist in 18 games this season and was tied for the second-most playing time on the team.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”
- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
