Phantoms' Holmstrom has knee surgery

More injury news for the Adirondack Phantoms.

Already dealing with another concussion suffered by defenseman Marc-Andre Bourdon, the AHL club learned on Thursday that forward Ben Holmstrom will be out for the next 4-to-6 months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament on his right knee.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren confirmed that it was one of the more serious tears, roughly 90 percent. 

The 25-year-old Colorado native totaled just two goals and eight points in 22 games for ADK this season.
