What Happened
Buffalo Sabres forward Konsta Helenius is set to miss the team's next two games with an upper-body injury, according to Daily Faceoff. Helenius has appeared in 11 games for Buffalo this season, recording one goal and three points. The Sabres have not announced the injury or a timeline beyond the reported two-game absence.
Key Details
- Helenius will miss the next two games with an upper-body injury.
- He has one goal and three points in 11 games this season.
- The report comes from Daily Faceoff.
- No further timeline or roster move has been announced.
What It Means
Helenius has been a regular in Buffalo's lineup through 11 games, so his absence removes a forward from the Sabres' depth chart for at least two games. With only one goal and three points this season, his offensive role has been limited, but the team will still need to fill his spot in the lineup.
What's Next
The Sabres will play the next two games without Helenius. It is not yet known whether Buffalo will recall a forward or make another roster move to cover his absence.
