The Sabres have placed Ryan O’Reilly (lower-body) on IR.
The Sabres announced that their leading scorer would miss 3-4 weeks, so moving him to IR was the obvious move. A three-week timetable means that O’Reilly will miss the next 10 games. With the Fantasy Hockey playoffs looming, his movement to IR will at least allow owners to stash him and look for an alternative option.
O'Reilly (lower-body) will not play on Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.
