Sabres’ Josh Norris Out Long Term With Upper-Body Injury

The setback forces Buffalo to rework its top six before visiting Boston.

Overview

  • Coach Lindy Ruff said Norris will miss a significant amount of time after being hurt in the season opener, with no firm timetable yet.
  • Norris was injured late against the Rangers when he fell after a faceoff and he did not return to the game.
  • Zach Benson is day-to-day after a puck struck his face in practice, spent a brief time in the hospital, and will not play against the Bruins.
  • Buffalo elevated Jiri Kulich to skate with Tage Thompson on the top line and recalled center Josh Dunne from AHL Rochester.
  • Owen Power traveled and could play, while the team continues to navigate other early absences on defense and in goal.
