New York Islanders forward Shane Prince will be sidelined four-to-six months following ankle surgery, the team announced Monday.
Prince appeared in 50 games with the Islanders last season, recording five goals and 13 assists. The 24-year-old has one year remaining on his contract, and is carrying an $850,000 cap hit.
The Islanders originally acquired Prince from the Ottawa Senators at the 2016 trade deadline.
