This came across the Blog from Steve Zipay of Newsday about the Mutant - #16 in Ranger Blue:

Just when the Rangers seemed healthy, Sean Avery is going under the knife.

Avery—already sidelined once this season with a shoulder separation—-will not only miss the Islanders game, but several more after arthroscopic surgery to clean out his left wrist tomorrow at 5:30 p.m.

Avery—who reinjured the wrist against Tampa when hit by a shot— practiced without shooting today, but was waiting for resuslts of a CAT scan on the wrist, which has bothered him since the start of the season. He said afterward that the decision had been made and didn’t know how long he would be sidelined. Avery said he had been playing with a fracture, and was worsened during a fight five games after he returned—we’re thinking with Darcy Tucker in Toronto.

“Hopefully, it’ll only be a week or two,” he said. “But I don’t live in a reality world.”

With Ryan Callahan back and on a third line, Marcel Hossa could play left wing with Scott Gomez and Brendan Shanahan tomorrow, and coach Tom Renney did not rule out a callup from Hartford.

The Rangers were 17-6-6 with Avery last season; this year, before and after he returned from a shoulder injury, the Rangers are 9-4-1 with him and 4-5-1 without him.

My heart is bleeding…..
