Kyle Hiebert

Gets surgery, likely for return

Hiebert has been out all season after receiving surgery on "an issue that was making him uncomfortable," according to manager Yoann Damet, per Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Dispatch.

Analysis: Hiebert has not played once this season and has been absent for unknown reasons, although his situation is finally clearer. The defender had to receive surgery on an unknown issue, but is still expected to return this season, leaving some questions to be answered. He started in 19 of his 22 appearances last season and was a useful option, so they will hope he can truly return this season. However, a return date remains unknown, with the club secretive about his situation.
