Gaborik underwent a procedure that will hold him out through at least part of training camp, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger hasn't supplied much in either of his last two seasons for the Kings, playing no more than 56 games over that span. His 2017-18 campaign won't start on a good note, but general manager Rob Blake indicated Monday that the team isn't considering buying Gaborik's contract out. He reportedly played hurt during 2016-17 and will be given an opportunity to get back on track next season. Considering the deal lasts for another four seasons, the Kings certainly hope he can turn things around despite entering next season at 35 years of age.
