Devils' Jonathon Merrill undergoes surgery on his shoulder

New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonathon Merrill has undergone successful shoulder surgery.

What It Means:

Merrill didn't play past March 19 due to the injury. He's expected to need another four months to recover so he should be ready for the regular season, but you should probably temper expectations for him as this could limit his ability to get ready for 2016-17 over the summer and training camp. Additionally, any setback in his recovery could end up eating into the campaign.

Merrill tallied just 5 points (1 goals, 4 assists) in 47 games played this season and was poor at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage was 46.4 and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength was -2.8. He played a career low 16:54 minutes per game.
