Jesse Joensuu out 5-7 weeks after surgery
Jesse Joensuu - W - New York Islanders

Jesse Joensuu will be sidelined for five to seven weeks after undergoing sports hernia surgery.

That puts Joensuu's return somewhere around the middle of March. Joensuu played well overseas during the lockout, but should be safely dispatched to waivers in all formats at this point.
