EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brad
Norton is expected to miss three months after having surgery to
repair two tendons in his right hand.
Norton had the surgery Tuesday in Phoenix, shortly after
injuring his hand in the first period of a 6-1 victory over the
Coyotes.
Norton established career highs of 53 games played, three goals,
three assists and 97 penalty minutes last season, his first with
the Kings.
