Blue Jackets Jared Boll (CLS - Right Wing) News: Boll (sports hernia) underwent successful surgery Thursday, the Columbus Dispatch reports. [+] Impact: Boll, who played the final two weeks with the sports hernia, will need about four-to-six weeks to recover. He's expected to be fine for training camp in September. (RotoWire - Thu. May 9, 2013) Marian Gaborik (CLS - Right Wing) News: Gaborik (abdomen) underwent successful surgery Thursday, the Columbus Dispatch reports. [+] Impact: Gaborik is expected to require three-to-four weeks of recovery time from the injury and be perfectly healthy come training camp in September.
