Rangers' Oscar Lindberg: Undergoes hip surgery, could miss 6 months

Lindberg is recovering from hip surgery with a recovery timetable of six months.

Analysis:

This is the first we've heard of Lindberg needing surgery but might explain why the rookie was limited to just two of a possible five games of the quarterfinal playoff round against the Penguins. Assuming he makes a full recovery in six months, that would put him on track to return at some point in November.
