He recently opened up about the surgery he had during the post-season, which he had after spending the end of last season in a Carolina Hurricane's uniform.
There are other hockey players suffering from hip problems, including Puljujarvi. Puljujarvi underwent double hip replacement surgery during the postseason to solve his hip issues.
He's had difficulty following invasive surgery with 20-centimeter incisions in his buttocks.
It is likely he will need quite a bit of time to recover and has just started his journey and hasn't received any contract offers from NHL teams yet.
Carolina Hurricanes failed to offer a contract to the forward, thus resulting in him becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Despite the fact that Puljujarvi is going through a difficult time, he isn't letting it get to him and is focusing on getting well and once again playing in the National Hockey League.
