Robin Lehner has been out with some injury problems lately.
Now the Swedish star is forced to undergo extensive surgery and may miss the entire next season.
The goalkeeper is one of Sweden’s and the world’s very best at the position. He debuted in the NHL over ten years ago but had his real breakthrough in the world’s best hockey league several years later.
Heavy damage
Robin Lehner has represented clubs such as Ottawa, the New York Islanders, Chicago and the Vegas Golden Knights, to which he currently belongs. The Swede has had large parts of the last seasons spoiled by injuries and now comes a new nightmare message for Lehner.
The 31-year-old needs surgery on his troubled hip. An operation expected to keep him out of action for the entire upcoming season.
“Robin Lehner is expected to miss the entire 2022-2023 season after it was determined that he needs hip surgery. A more accurate forecast has yet to be determined,” the Golden Knights wrote on their Twitter account.
Talked openly about his problems
Robin Lehner has become a great role model in the hockey world after he openly chose to talk about his mental illness. Since then, he has become a very authoritarian voice who always says what he thinks and thinks.
The Swede has “only” scraped together 118 NHL games in recent seasons as a result of the major injury problems.
