Claude Giroux injures finger during golf event, out 5-6 weeks

Flyers captain Claude Giroux underwent successful surgery on his right index after he damaged it during a golf outing in Ottawa, Canada Wednesday, the team announced.

While golfing, Giroux's club shattered and "splintered into his index finger." The team said that there were no broken bones, but there was damage to some of the tendons in his finger.

Giroux's surgery was performed by Dr. Katherine Boyd at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and he is expected to make a full recovery in 5-6 weeks.
