Simon Gagne is having surgery on Tuesday, but it’s unknown if it will be just one surgery or two:
Gagne Scheduled For Two Surgeries Tuesday
Two surgeries are scheduled, but it’s possible only one will be performed.
The first surgery will be to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscles to prevent groin or abdominal injuries. The second surgery will be to repair two small hernias – if the hernias are, in fact, present.
Regardless, Gagne will miss six to eight weeks, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
Afterward, Gagne said he will “get on a program … to make sure those types of injuries don’t happen to me anymore.”
