Well, didn’t take long for our first bit of bad news to hit. (Projected) First line center Casey Mittelstadt and (projected) first pairing defenseman Henri Jokiharju are out of commission for the Buffalo Sabres, at least for a few weeks with an upper body and lower body injuries.
"It's not short term. ... They're big losses." - Sabres coach Don Granato on injuries to Casey Mittelstadt (upper body) and Henri Jokijarju (lower bod). The coach says will be at least a couple weeks and could be more.
