It was with Boston in 2012. Rask got injured just after the trade deadline, but was projected to return before the playoffs (he was out for the first five playoff games too -- Khudobin backed up Thomas for those games).

My understanding is that he delayed the surgery because he wanted to play this year. I believe his first priority was to get a contract or PTO to start the season. When it became evident that wasn't going to happen, he decided to have the surgery, which was necessary, but not urgent (he could have played without it).
