Penguins Forward Craig Adams Undergoes Successful Appendectomy

Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Craig Adams underwent successful laparoscopic
appendectomy surgery on Friday.

UPMC physician Dr. Jack McKeating performed the surgery in Pittsburgh.
Adams’ rehab is expected to take four weeks. He is expected to be ready
for training camp in September. 

As the article states, he should be fine and ready for camp in a few weeks.
Laparoscopic appendectomies are farily non invasive, except for the part
that it is completely invasive. Nonetheless he will be fine for camp barring
a setback. It is much more crucial for the Pens to have Adams in the lineup
 than it appears at first glance.  Adams is a key faceoff man and an integral part
to the Pens top ranked penaly kill.
