Bruins’ Adam McQuaid Undergoes Ankle Surgery, Expected Recovery Time 8 Weeks

The Boston Bruins announced Sunday afternoon that defenseman Adam McQuaid underwent a successful arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle Thursday.

The expected recovery time is eight weeks.

McQuaid missed 52 of Boston’s 82 regular-season games and hasn’t played in any of the team’s seven playoff games. He tallied six points (one goal, five assists) in 30 games.

The 27-year-old D-man was bothered by a quadriceps injury earlier in the year.

The Bruins evened their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens at a game apiece with a thrilling 5-3 comeback victory Saturday in Game 2.

The series will shift to Montreal for Game 3 on Tuesday night.
