Buffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson will be out indefinitely due to a lower-body injury, as confirmed by coach Lindy Ruff. The injury's severity is significant, but surgery is not anticipated.
Samuelsson sustained the injury during a recent game against the Montreal Canadiens. This was his first match back after being a healthy scratch.
Meanwhile, Ruff indicated that leading scorer Tage Thompson and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen are both day-to-day, with a chance to participate in the upcoming game against the St. Louis Blues.
