Selanne' surgery is a success

Anaheim Ducks right wing Teemu Selanne underwent surgery successfully to repair two fractured bones in his jaw. The club said the surgery was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Pulver at St. Joseph's Hospital. The team placed Selanne on injured reserve and said he was expected to miss 2 to 6 weeks.

Selanne was injured in the third period of Wednesday's win over Boston Bruins at the Honda Center when Ryan Whitney hit him in the jaw. He fell to the ice immediately and had to be sent to the locker room. Selanne was playing just his third game after missing 17 games with a broken bone in his hand. Selanne has 16 goals and 23 points in 30 games this season in his anaheim ducks jersey.
