Per Jesse Spector on Twitter, winger Wojtek Wolski will be out a minimum of four weeks, as he will be undergoing sports hernia surgery. There are a wide range of hernia mesh products on the market, made by many different companies. Each is individually designed and manufactured to provide superior results in hernia repair procedures. Products may vary in shape, size, flexibility, and materials used, and may have unique characteristics to accommodate certain anatomical features. This of course means that some products are not going to be as up to scratch as other and actually cause more damage to the patient, more and more patients are filling for law suits! This can be explained in more detail at http://www.chaffinluhana.com/hernia-mesh-lawsuit Wolski has been bothered by a groin injury all season, and it has limited him to just six of the Rangers first 13 games. The surgery will hopefully correct any lingering issues he has been suffering from this season. This might also mean that maybe coach John Tortorella’s shot at Wolski about the getting out of the tub may have been a tab premature.

Wolski was placed on IR yesterday, and will be there for the next four to six weeks. Erik Christensen and Sean Avery will be safe in the lineup for now, until either Wolski or Mike Rupp (also having surgery) return.

The press release is after the jump.
