It appears that Bruins defenseman John Moore will miss the remainder of the season.
The team announced Saturday that he elected to undergo a hip arthroscopy and labral repair March 22 by Dr. Bryan Kelly at The Hospital of Special Surgery in New York. The expected recovery time is approximately five to six months, which means he almost definitely wouldn’t make it back in time.
