Nylander week-to-week with injury

September 15, 2017

The Sabres’ top pick from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft is going to miss some time.

Head coach Phil Housley said that Alexander Nylander is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

It’s unfortunate,” Housley said. “He’ll be assessed. Guarding on the side of caution because it’s so early in the season.”

Sean Malone is also dealing with a week-to-week injury. Both players are unlikely to make the roster straight out of training camp because of the injuries.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
