New Jersey Devils left-winger Zach Parise is going to be sidelined three months with a knee injury.

The struggling Devils announced Tuesday evening that Parise underwent exploratory arthroscopic surgery on his right knee to repair a torn meniscus.

"The good news is that the meniscus is 100 per cent intact," Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press late Tuesday evening. "They didn't have to do anything to it other than stitch it. It will be a 100 per cent recovery and there will be no risk of anything down the road later and that's the most important thing."

Parise will be a restricted free agent after this season. Lamoriello noted the injury will not influence the team's thinking about re-signing him.
