Josh Norris' return was short-lived, as the Ottawa Senators forward will have shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season, the club announced Monday.

The same injury forced him out for 38 games earlier this campaign. Norris played three contests after re-entering the lineup last week, scoring the Senators' lone goal in a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.

The 23-year-old tallied two markers and added an assist over eight games in 2022-23. He notched 35 goals and 20 helpers over 66 contests last season.
