Tucker had arthroscopic knee surgery and will be re-assessed in six weeks, the team announced Wednesday.
Based on Tucker's timeline, he shouldn't be expected back until mid-November, though it could certainly be longer. With Logan Mailloux (hand) also sidelined long-term, Adam Jiricek could see an extended run on the blue line. For his part, even once cleared to play, Tucker is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.
