Slater Koekkoek (shoulder) out for the season
Slater Koekkoek - D - Tampa Bay Lightning
Jan. 22, 2013 - 11:10 AM ET

Tampa Bay prospect Slater Koekkoek will require a second shoulder surgery that will keep him on the shelf for four to six months.

Koekkoek had the same surgery on the same shoulder last season. "The first procedure he had, it failed, so he needs to have it redone," said Lightning GM Steve Yzerman. He generated six goals and 28 points in 40 games with Peterborough this season prior to being traded to Windsor, where he had one assist in two contests.
