Los Angeles Kings defenseman Alec Martinez underwent surgery to correct shoulder discomfort, the team told LA Kings Insider Jon Rosen.

Martinez didn't play in Games 2-5 of his team's first-round series loss to the San Jose Sharks after suffering a groin injury in Game 1. Rosen reports the 28-year-old had been dealing with shoulder discomfort for most of the season.

His expected recovery time is around three months.

Meanwhile, captain Dustin Brown underwent a "minor procedure" on his right wrist. The 31-year-old still has six years remaining on his current contract.

Both players are expected to participate fully in training camp.
