Jack Quinn underwent successful surgery to repair a hernia and will miss the rest of the season, the Sabres announced Thursday. The estimated recovery time for the injury is six weeks.
Quinn, 19, was selected by the Sabres with the eighth overall pick in last year's NHL Draft. He tallied nine points (2+7) in 15 games this season as the youngest player on the Rochester Americans.
Amerks coach Seth Appert said the injury had been nagging Quinn since before the season. The organization decided to move ahead with the surgery now to enable a full offseason of training for the forward.
