DENVER -- Colorado Avalanche defenseman Patrice Brisebois will have surgery for a back injury, which will sideline him the rest of the regular season, the team said Sunday.
Brisebois will have surgery on a herniated disc, said Matthew Sokolowski, the team's head trainer.
He hasn't played since Dec. 27 when he injured his back in Colorado's 5-4 loss to Dallas.
Brisebois had one goal and 11 assists in 33 games this season. This is his second season with the Avalanche, who acquired him from the Montreal Canadiens.
