BUFFALO, N.Y. — One day after the Sabres made a trade to try and improve their output on offense, the team announced a key forward will be out of the lineup for a while.
Victor Olofsson will be out five to six weeks with a lower-body injury, according to a tweet by the team on Friday morning.
Olofsson left Thursday's overtime victory against Edmonton in the third period with an injury.
Just hours before the game against the Oilers, Olofsson was named NHL rookie of the month for December.
Olofsson has 16 goals in 42 games for the Sabres this season.
