New York Rangers winger Jesper Fast underwent successful labral repair surgery on his left hip, the club announced Monday.

His expected recovery timeline is five months.

In 68 games this past season, Fast, 25, recorded six goals and 15 assists, adding an extra six points in 12 playoff contests.

His contract expired at the end of the season, and he's slated for restricted free agency. However, on a Rangers roster chock-full of prominent forwards, Fast is vulnerable for exposure to Vegas in the upcoming expansion draft.
