Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Callahan has undergone surgery to repair a labral tear in his right hip and will be sidelined about five months, which means he will not play for Team USA in the World Cup of Hockey. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said the operation Tuesday was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly in New York. With Callahan out of the World Cup of Hockey, it opens up a spot on the U.S. roster that could be filled by Lightning teammate Tyler Johnson or Penguins forward Phil Kessel.
