Flyers left wing Simon Gagne will need surgery to repair two hernias in his right groin area but will seek second opinions from two doctors in Canada on Thursday, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgreen said today. Holmgren said Gagne has agreed that surgery is needed but would like to "cover all his bases" by visiting another specialist. Holmgren said the length of Gagne's recovery period can only be determined once his surgery is performed.
