Vanek suffered the injury in Saturday's game against Ottawa when he was hit in the face with a puck. According to the Sabres, he had successful surgery on Sunday. Vanek, 25, is the Sabres' best player and is currently third in the NHL with 32 goals. He hasn't missed a game since April 2006, his rookie season.
He's developed into one of the game's best wingers, scoring 25, 43 and 36 goals over the previous three seasons, leading the team the past two seasons. Prior to his injury, he was on pace to shatter his previous career-high in goals.
Fantasy Impact: This will hurt the MalagaRoad Flyers in a very bad way. Vanek and Carter equal about %33 of the teams goals. With Vanek out, there is nobody on the Flyers bench that can come close to filling that void!
