Minnesota Wild forward Luke Kunin will be sidelined seven months after suffering a torn ACL, general manager Chuck Fletcher announced Monday.
Kunin sustained the injury in Sunday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings, and is expected to have surgery in the next few weeks.
In 19 games this season, the 6-foot-3 rookie has tallied two goals and two assists.
The Wild selected Kunin with the 15th overall pick in 2016.
