from Chris Lund of the Ottawa Senators website,

After re-aggravating a sports hernia that was first sustained in November this past Saturday in Dallas, Senators forward Bobby Ryan underwent surgery today in Montreal, which will rule him out of the team's remaining games in 2013-14. Senators GM Bryan Murray offered a rundown of the injury and Ryan's status.

Here's what he had to say...

On Ryan and the injury:

He got hurt early on and tried to play through it. He felt it handicapped him a little as far as shooting the puck in particular was concerned. Then he had a couple of incidents where things cropped up. Going into the boards the way he did in Dallas was a time we had to decide with him that it was best to stop playing for a bit and get it repaired and give him a chance. I think if we were still in a real serious, serious position here we could maybe get another game or two out of him but it doesn't make a lot of sense at this point in time to continue playing when you're hurt.
