Buffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson is sidelined indefinitely due to a lower-body injury, as confirmed by coach Lindy Ruff. The injury's severity is described as significant, but surgery is not anticipated.

Samuelsson sustained the injury during a recent game against the Montreal Canadiens. Meanwhile, Ruff noted that leading scorer Tage Thompson and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen are day-to-day, with a chance to play in the upcoming match against the St. Louis Blues.
