08:32 AM ET 05.21 | The end of the 2011-12 season still smarts in Philadelphia, where there's a parade of players to the operating table. Star center Claude Giroux, who had said Scott Hartnell took some of his playoff faceoffs to give him some work, had surgery on both wrists. The 24-year-old Giroux had surgery on his right wrist to repair torn cartilage, and on his left wrist to remove bone spurs. Recovery time is six weeks. Right winger Wayne Simmonds had surgery to repair a broken left finger, and defenseman Matt Carle had a torn stomach muscle repaired. ... Holmgren said all-star defenseman Kimmo Timonen will have surgery to remove a disk fragment from his lower back. ... [James van Riemsdyk] will have surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip.
