There is, unfortunately, no real update on Simon Gagne, who has been out since Dec. 26 because of a concussion. Gagne is regularly being evaluated by doctors but is not doing any type of hockey-related activity and is not with the team.
There remains no timetable for the oft-injured Gagne. Before getting hurt he scored seven goals and 17 points through 34 games. If you need an IR slot it is probably safe to drop him.

Gagne, who suffered a concussion in the Dec. 26 game against Phoenix, will miss a fifth consecutive game tonight and has not been on the ice. Darryl Sutter had no update on Gagne, who had been scheduled to see a doctor on Monday. “I haven’t spoken with him for two or three days,’’ Sutter said today.
Doesn't sound like Gagne will get back on the ice any time soon.
Jan. 5, 2012, 5:33 p.m.
Anyway, to the relevant matter, Gagne will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight and has been off the ice for a week. For a player with a long history of concussions, that’s not a good sign. Neither is the fact that Sutter was unable to offer any real update on Gagne’s progress.
Gagne is likely out for an exorbitant amount of time due to this most recent concussion. The veteran has been sidelined with concussions numerous times in his career and definitely holds the injury-prone label. He has seven goals and 17 points over 34 games.

Sutter had no update on Simon Gagne, other than to say that Gagne was “progressing” and getting off-ice therapy.
Good news to hear that Gagne is progressing. However, the veteran will likely remain out of the lineup for a significant period of time.
