Predators Colin Wilson (NSH - Center) News: Wilson is expected to miss 4-6 months after undergoing stabilization surgery on his left shoulder last week, according to Reuters. [+] Impact: Wilson had 19 points in 25 games before undergoing a similar procedure - on his right shoulder - in April. Given the new timeframe for his expected recovery, it's questionable whether he will be available for the start of the season come October. (RotoWire - Mon. May 13, 2013) Pekka Rinne (NSH - Goaltender) News: Rinne has had arthroscopic surgery on his left hip and will need approximately four months to recover. Nashville Predators general manager David Poile said Thursday that Rinne had surgery Wednesday to correct a situation team officials were aware of last year resulting from the wear and tear from playing goaltender. [+] Impact: Rinne tied for second in the NHL with 43 appearances in the lockout-shortened season, tied for fourth with 42 starts and ranked sixth in minutes played (2,443:46). The 6-foot-5, 204-pound Finn tied for the NHL-lead with five shutouts. Poile says they hope Rinne is ready by training camp. The general manager says Tim Thomas had the operation and won the Vezina Trophy with the Bruins taking the Stanley Cup the following year. (STATS - Thu. May 9, 2013) Pekka Rinne (NSH - Goaltender) News: Rinne has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left hip, Joshua Cooper of The Tennessean reports. [+] Impact: Rinne's recovery is estimated at four months, a timetable which would put him on track to be ready for next season, barring any setbacks.
