Philadelphia Flyers forward Simon Gagne had surgery on two small hernias in his right groin on Tuesday and will miss the next six-to-eight weeks.
"Simon Gagne had successful surgery done this morning by Dr. William Meyers at Hanhemann University Hospital," the team said in a statement. "The surgery was to repair tears in Simon's abdominal wall as well as repair a small hernia near his umbilicus (belly button). Simon will begin rehab in a few days."
The 29-year-old Gagne, who was placed on injured reserve on October 26 due to the injury, has one goal and four assists in nine games this season. He recorded 34 goals and 40 assists in 79 contests during the 2008-09 campaign.
