by from on (#34CSF)
Boston Bruins forward Noel Acciari will be sidelined for approximately six weeks following surgery on his left index finger, the team announced Saturday.
Acciari suffered the injury in Thursday's season-opening game against the Nashville Predators, leaving early in the second period.
He was projected to fill a role on the team's fourth line this season. The 25-year-old split last season between the Bruins and the club's minor-league affiliate in Providence.
Acciari has tallied two goals and four assists in 49 NHL games.
