Treliving said a "little pebble" was found behind Stolarz' knee and the goaltender will have a procedure to address the injury Wednesday in New York.

Pebble? Procedure?! 🫣

I guess he has a loose body that requires minor surgery to fix:

Loose bodies in the knee joint are small fragments of cartilage or bone that move freely around the knee in joint fluid, or synovium. They can hinder the joint moment by getting caught in flexion and extension movements. The loose bodies can vary in size from a few millimeters (such as the size of a small pill) to a few centimeters (the size of a quarter). The fragments can lead to damage to the articular cartilage, causing osteoarthritis.
