Labanc will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder and is expected to be sidelined for a "couple" months, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given his expected recovery timetable, Labanc will likely be sidelined through the NHL's Olympic break, so he likely won't be ready to return until Feb. 24 against the Islanders. Labanc, who's picked up six points through 21 contests this campaign, will almost certainly be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.
