Schneider’s hip had been bothering him for a while
Chris Ryan of NJ.com: New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider had surgery on his hip back in May to repair torn cartilage. The expected recovery time is five months. Schneider also dealt with some groin issues.
Schneider said that his hip started being an issue in 2016-17, but played through it until the end of last year.
“It was something that had kind of cropped maybe a year and a half ago, a season and a half ago,” Schneider said on the podcast. “It’s just something that nags and it there, but you don’t ever feel like it’s bad enough that you need to sit out for six months, because there’s no real good time to do it, unfortunately.”
