BOSTON -- Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask will have surgery to repair a previously undisclosed torn labrum in his hip, he said Friday, two days after the team was eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Islanders.
Rask, who is eligible to become a free agent, said he hopes to re-sign with the Bruins and be ready to return in January or February.
"I'm not going to play for anyone else than the Bruins. This is our home," he said. "At this point of my life and my career, I don't see any reason to go anywhere else, especially with the health I'm looking at now and a recovery time of five or six months.
