Defenseman Tyler Cuma, the Wild's first-round pick last June, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Friday in Minnesota. Cuma, who plays for the Ontario Hockey League's Ottawa 67s, will miss at least eight weeks and is likely to be out for the season, Wild assistant GM Tom Thompson said Friday.
It was revealed in an MRI on Friday morning that Cuma, who sustained a sprained MCL in December, had cartilage detached from the bone.
