More news: #Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges & forward Patrick Kaleta have been placed on injured reserve.

Both Zemgus Girgensons and Tyler Ennis have been injuried in todays game in Columbus.

Girgensons blocked a James Wisniewski shot off his right foot - went to the locker room - no weight on it.
Fox Sports Ohio said Girgensons had to be wheeled back to Buffalo room after his x-ray...not good.

No word on what happened to Ennis.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Hopefully they were simply wheeling Zemgus around out of respect.

God dayuum, it's really hard for me not to swear. I waited Sabres - Canucks game so bad and just before it, my tank get's damaged.

That game could 108 game between Latvians in NHL

What a sad day this is...

Too bad for Zemgus. I really, really, really wanted to see him get to 20g, which would've been a close call had he been able to play the rest of the game schedule. Based on how the replays looked and where the shot hit him, in thinking he's done for the year.

Broken ankle?

 

[jBuds]

Oh yeah and no Ennis is pretty significant as it pertains to winning.

We're sure Murray wasn't in the press box with a blowgun?

The visual in my head I get when reading this post is hilarious. Someone with Photoshop abilities needs to make this happen.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

I'm just hoping this injury doesn't affect him long term. Ankles can be tricky.

What's the time table for Weber and Strachan?

Weber is about two weeks and Strachan could be available on Thursday.

Ankles are more problematic when they are twisted/rolled, because we are on our feet so much we tend to use them prematurely before a full recovery. This would be especially true in Zemgus' case if we were trying to get back from injury. However, a broken bone, or a deep bone bruise is less likely to be troublesome. Especially with him likely being shut down for the year, he's going to have a ton of time to help it recover fully and properly.

Does anyone even know what happened to Ennis?

Lower body wear and tear was what Nolan said. What that means I have no idea

We just lost our 2 leading scorers

On a serious note, I hope Zemgus has a fast recovery. I'm sure the last thing he wants to do is spend some of his off-season on crutches after this treacherous season.

Nolan says Girgs will be back in 2 weeks.

 

[StlSwedes]

Nolan says Girgs will be back in 2 weeks.

Meaning it is just a deep bruise and nothing is broken?

Ennis injury and the word 'tear' means it could be longer term?

Nolan said that Ennis' injury is a short term thing.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Nolan says Girgs will be back in 2 weeks.

Excellent. I'm with the tank of course, and I recognize how Girgs hurts the tank, but I'll take that over serious injury every day of the week.

Perhaps they'll stretch that out to 3 weeks. Let the kid rest a bit more.

 

[Moskau]

Nolan said that Ennis' injury is a short term thing.

Nolan also said Pysyk's injury early in training camp was a day to day thing and it ended up being like 6 weeks.

 

[LaxSabre]

@BuffaloSabres - Nolan says Tyler Ennis will take the warmup but will not play in todays game at Florida.
