Predators goalie Pekka Rinne has hip surgery

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Predators goalie Pekka Rinne has had arthroscopic surgery on his left hip and will need approximately four months to recover.

General manager David Poile said Thursday that Rinne had surgery Wednesday to correct a situation team officials were aware of last year. After consulting with doctors, the decision was made for Rinne to go ahead and have the surgery now rather than try to postpone for another year or more.

"This just goes to the position, the wear and tear that goaltenders and their current style of play," Poile said. "This is an operation that many, many players in the NHL have had including two prominent goaltenders in Niklas Backstrom and Tim Thomas."
