ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon will miss the remainder of the season because of injuries to his hip and back that will require separate surgeries. Wild general manager Bill Guerin announced Spurgeon will have the procedure on his left hip done Feb. 6. The operation on his back will take place approximately four weeks later. Spurgeon is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in September. The 34-year-old Spurgeon is the team captain. He has played in only 16 games this season due to his injuries. Spurgeon has spent his entire 14-year career with the Wild.
