Sabres' season opener shows why Senators couldn't keep Josh Norris anymore

Josh Norris was a fan favorite when he was a member of the Ottawa Senators. Norris recorded 156 points in 236 games as a Senator.

Despite the ability to score 90 goals as a Senator, injuries became a serious issue with Norris. One-hundred-fourteen games were missed by Norris with the Senators since the 2022-23 season. This past March, Norris was traded to the Buffalo Sabres, where injuries concluded the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Norris had a fantastic preseason for the Sabres with being eager to prove the Senators wrong for trading him away, but once again, health continues to be a concern with the 26-year-old.
