New Jersey Devils forward Patrik Elias is expected to miss 3-to-6 weeks with groin issues.
The club announced on Wednesday that Elias, who was set to begin his 13th season with the team, had a procedure to break up scar tissue in his groin which had built up over the last four seasons. The Czech native underwent groin surgery during the 2005-06 campaign which limited him to 38 contests.
Last season, the 33-year-old tallied 31 goals to go with 78 points in 77 games, breaking John MacLean's long-held franchise points record in the process.
New Jersey begins its preseason slate by hosting the New York Rangers Wednesday, then commences the 2009-2010 season October 3 against Philadelphia.
