Danny Cleary has a date for his knee surgery.
General manager Ken Holland said Cleary will have surgery on his left knee May 8, a procedure which should get Cleary into training camp healthy and ready to play in September.
“He’ll have it next week and he should be good to go,” Holland said.
Cleary slumped to 12 goals in 75 games this season and didn’t score a goal in five games during the playoffs.
The knee pain clearly seemed to have an effect.
Cleary said after the season it was difficult to talk from November, he was walking with a limp, and the fluid build-up and torn ligaments caused consistent pain.
