I think that is even a conservative estimate, don't think they want to establish how long Kipper may actually be out.

Backlund has the exact same injury and is out 4-6 weeks.

I Don't see how a 36 year old Kipper can be expected to heal faster, especially considering the goaltender position puts more strain on those supporting knee ligaments.
