Predators goaltender Pekka Rhine will miss at least four weeks after he has arthroscopic surgery on his hip, according to an ESPN.com report on Thursday.
The team announced the move but did not say when Rinne will undergo surgery. Rinne had surgery on his left hip on May 9 and recovered in time to begin the season.
Rinne was in goal Tuesday night for a 2-0 loss at Minnesota, and is currently 4-4-1.
Nashville has recalled goalie Magnus Hellberg from Milwaukee under emergency conditions to replace Rinne.
