“The hips have been bothering him,” Coach Bowness said. “So he had an operation on one the other day, and I think he’s going to have another one in two weeks once that one settles down.”
Gagner intends to play hockey again. This rehabilitation period will be very important for him to get ready for next season.
Cole Perfetti questionable for Game 1 due to upper body injury
According to Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe, Jets forward Cole Perfetti (upper body) is not expected to be available for Game 1 on Tuesday. The 21-year-old has not played since the team's 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on February 19.
Perfetti was wearing a non-contact jersey during their recent practice. He posted eight goals and 22 assists in 51 games.
Kevin Stenland likely to miss Game 1 due to a lower-body injury
According to John Lu of TSN, Kevin Stenlund (lower body) is questionable for Game 1 against Vegas on Tuesday.
Stenlund has not been on the ice since getting hurt in the final game of the regular season on Thursday. He left the game after the second period and did not return.
