From Adam Kimelman at NHL.com:
Calling it “the year from hell,” Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger could learn in a matter of days if he’s going to need his fourth surgery in 10 months.
Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren told CSNPhilly.com that Pronger could have a bulging or herniated disc in his lower back. The back injury, along with a hamstring pull, is what sidelined Pronger for the final three games of the Flyers’ conference semifinal series against the Boston Bruins.
Update 2:45pm ET: Transcript of Pronger’s conference call with the media today is here.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
As a fan of an Eastern Conference team that is not Philadelphia, I would be totally fine if he wasn’t good to go at the beginning of next season. That said, I hope he is okay and makes a full recovery.
