A ultrasound revealed that Flyers left wing Simon Gagne has two small hernias in his groin area according to yahoo.com. The injury could require surgery, but no decision has been made yet.
Gags has been off to a bit of a slow start with only a goal and four assists in his first nine games. This is a tough break though as he seemed to be pulling out of his funk after scoring his first of the season against the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
This news could force the Flyers hand when it comes to signing free agent left winger Brendan Shanahan. The team was reported to have interest in the 40-year-old and losing Gagne for any length of time could increase that level of interest significantly. Especially, considering their only other option on the left side to replace Gagne is Riley Cote and his three minutes of ice time a game.
Geez. Shanny may already be in Philly.
