Zach Redmond had surgery after the back of his leg was gashed by a teammate's skate at practice Thursday morning. The injury occurred during a battle drill in front of the net when the player he was competing with accidentally stepped on him and cut him just above the back of the knee. "He lost a fair bit of blood and he's in some pain," said coach Claude Noel. "It looks like it's a vein. It cut him through the sock... I don't know if it cut through the pant, but there was a fair amount of a loss of blood there quickly and we got it tied up and put pressure on it. He'll be fine."
