Rick DiPietro Our For Season - Hernia

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro will have surgery to repair a sports hernia, likely sidelining the oft-injured player for most of the rest of the season.

The Islanders confirmed Friday night that DiPietro is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday.

Newsday first reported the surgery, saying Islanders general manager Garth Snow said the best-case scenario for DiPietro's return was the beginning of April.

The 30-year-old goalie has played eight games this season, going 3-2-3 with a 3.73 goal-against average. He hasn't played since sustaining a groin injury Dec. 3 in Dallas.
