Off-Season Injury News

On Tuesday, Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane underwent wrist surgery to repair a broken bone caused by his off-season workouts.  With the start of training camp still some time away, there is no worry that Kane will miss out on any time when camp opens.  Of course, sillier things have happened and he may not exactly be ready on time.

The Penguins had some injury news of their own, as defenseman Brooks Orpik underwent hernia surgery on Wednesday and is said to need 6-to-8 weeks to recover from this surgery.  That has a projected return date of September 14th, which would be the start of training camp, one week before the team's first pre-season game.
