Sabres’ Jeff Skinner out 3-4 weeks with upper-body injury
The 10-year veteran is fifth on the team in scoring with 11 goals and eight assists. He had a career-high 40 goals last season, which led to an eight-year, $72 million deal with the Sabres.
“Yeah, it’s tough,” teammate Jack Eichel told reporters after the Sabres’ 3-0 loss. “You never want to see anyone go down. Obviously, Skins is a big part of our team, so you don’t want to see him go down. Hopefully he’s all right.”
