Friday afternoon, the Buffalo Sabres announced defenseman Zach Bogosian will undergo hip surgery next week, with recovery expected to take 4-6 months. Bogosian will miss the remainder of the 2017-18 season, but the team said he is expected to be ready for training camp in the fall.
Bogosian has appeared in only 18 games this season for Buffalo, notching one assist and a minus-9 in that stretch. He last played on January 9 against his former team, the Winnipeg Jets, and was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury on January 11.
