Puljujarvi determined to put injury woes behind him with Penguins

A glimpse at Jesse Puljujarvi's scars told Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson all he needed to know about his teammate's battle to return from bilateral hip surgery last offseason. "They don't look pleasant," Karlsson said. All the credit to him for putting in the work and the dedication he has to play at the level he needs to to play in the NHL. Puljujarvi opted for the invasive surgery at the same time he was while facing unrestricted free agency last summer, and the 26-year-old forward pushed through a lengthy rehabilitation before eventually weaving his way back onto NHL ice with the Penguins in February.
