The Minnesota Wild continue to deal with injuries and different levels of inability so more roster shuffling is on the way.

General manager Bill Guerin called Spurgeon “week to week” without going into further specifics about the injury other than confirming surgery will not be required.

The veteran defenseman was run into the end boards on a slew-foot by Nashville’s Zachary L’Heureux, who was suspended for three games.

Captain Jared Spurgeon has avoided serious injury and will only miss two to three weeks with a lower-body injury, Wild hockey boss Bill Guerin told reporters Thursday.

Chasing a puck to the left of Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson, Spurgeon was tripped from behind into the end boards by Predators rookie Zach L’Heureux. The Wild defenseman went legs-first into the wall and landed awkwardly. He required assistance to get off the ice.

Coach John Hynes called it a “cheap hit” and “undisciplined” play, but didn’t have an official update on Spurgeon after the game. The NHL Department of Player Safety will surely look at the hit, which drew L’Heureux a match penalty. “It didn’t look good,” Hynes said.

The slew foot is undoubtedly the most dangerous play in hockey and as such, Nashville Predators forward Zachary L'Heureux will be taking some unpaid rest and relaxation time in the coming days. The NHL has issued the Nashville forward a three-game suspension for the nasty play he made on Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon Tuesday night.

The Wild will be without defenseman Jared Spurgeon for two to three weeks due to a lower-body injury, Minnesota president of hockey operations Bill Guerin told reporters Thursday.
