Callahan out indefinitely after follow-up hip surgery

Ryan Callahan won't be rejoining the Tampa Bay Lightning any time soon.

The forward is out indefinitely after having a follow-up surgical procedure Tuesday on his injured right hip, the club announced Wednesday.

Callahan has played 18 games this season, but he's been out since Jan. 7 with the nagging ailment, for which he underwent an initial operation in June that forced him to miss the World Cup of Hockey in September.

In mid-January, the Lightning announced he'd miss another month.
