Tampa Bay Lightning star center Brayden Point will be sidelined indefinitely because of an upper-body injury.

The two-time Stanley Cup champion Lightning announced the news during the first period Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.

Jack Eichel had disk replacement surgery on his neck Friday.

It is unknown when the center will be able to play for the Vegas Golden Knights, who traded for him this month and approved the surgery he preferred.

"Jack Eichel underwent disk replacement surgery today that his doctor described as successful and without complications," the Golden Knights said in a statement. "He is expected to make a full recovery. We will provide additional updates on the anticipated timing of his return to the ice when appropriate."

Jack Eichel will get artificial disk replacement surgery as soon as this week, sources told ESPN, after the star was traded from the Buffalo Sabres to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday morning.

The return for Buffalo is Peyton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a future first-round draft pick and a future second-rounder. Vegas will also get a future third-round draft pick as part of the deal.
