"Marian visited back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins on Wednesday at the Marina Spine Center in Marina Del Ray, California," said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. "Dr. Watkins determined the best course of action was to have surgery to correct a herniated disk in his back."
"The surgery took place earlier today and the medical team is happy with the results. Marian is expected to make a full recovery and our doctors have advised us that players have been able resume full training as soon as eight weeks after this type of surgery."
