CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks say prospect Phillip Danault had surgery on his left hip and will be held out of hockey-related activities for four months.

The team said Tuesday the operation was for a torn labrum. The procedure was performed in New York.

Danault appeared in two games for the Blackhawks last season.
