Columbus Blue Jackets rookie goalie Daniil Tarasov had surgery Wednesday to repair an injured right hip and will miss the remainder of the season.
Tarasov, 22, was injured in a Jan. 1 game against the Carolina Hurricanes, forcing him to miss Columbus’ past 20 games. His NHL career had just gotten underway, as he appeared in four games (three starts).
The third-round draft pick in 2017 out of Russia had a 2.40 goals-against average with a .937 save percentage in his short time with the Blue Jackets. His recovery is expected to take six months.
