Ottawa Senators forward Derick Brassard will have surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder and is expected to be out four-to-five months, general manager Pierre Dorion announced.

The news comes after Dorion revealed in Monday's press conference that 14 players had played through various injuries during the playoffs.

"After undergoing tests following the team's playoff series against Pittsburgh it was determined that Derick suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder that will require surgery to repair," Dorion said in a release. "The procedure will take place in the near future, with the expected recovery time for this type of injury being four to five months. We are hopeful that Derick will be ready for the start of the 2017-18 regular season."

The 29-year-old is coming off his first season with the Senators after being acquired from the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Mika Zibanejad. He posted 14 goals and 39 points in 81 regular-season games and another four goals and 11 points in 19 playoff games.
