Derek Stepan will be out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury for the Ottawa Senators.
The forward, who was injured in a 5-4 shootout win against the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 23, will have surgery to repair a damaged labrum after dislocating his left shoulder.
Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said Stepan is expected to recover in time for next season.
Stepan, who was acquired by Ottawa in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes on Dec. 26, 2020, had scored six points (one goal, five assists) in 20 games.
He is in the final season of a five-year contract he signed with the New York Rangers on July 27, 2015 and can become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
The Senators, who are 6-3-0 in their past nine games, visit the Canadiens on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; TSN2, RDS, TSN5, NHL.TV).
