Philadelphia Flyers center Danny Briere will undergo an exploratory surgical procedure on Thursday, the team announced on Wednesday.
"Due to lingering discomfort in his groin/stomach areas, Danny (Briere) will have an exploratory surgical procedure done tomorrow (Thursday, January 22) by Dr. William Meyers (at Hahnemann University Hospital)," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "Recovery time will be a minimum of two weeks."
Briere has missed the last 21 Flyers games with a groin strain and 30 of the last 31 overall due to injury.
The 31-year-old Briere recorded a goal and four assists for five points and two penalty minutes in three games for the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, after being assigned there for conditioning purposes on January 14.
"I am very disappointed," said Briere. "It's been frustrating not knowing what is going on, so we have decided to go in and check things out."
In nine games with the Flyers this season, Briere has registered five goals and four assists.
