Sabres defenceman to miss four to six weeks with leg injury

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres defenceman Zach Bogosian will miss between four and six weeks with an injury to his lower left leg. Coach Phil Housley provided the update Thursday before the Sabres’ home game against Columbus. Bogosian was hurt in practice a day earlier while battling for the puck along the boards with forward Evander Kane.

Bogosian fell awkwardly in the corner and had difficulty placing any weight on his left leg while being helped off the ice.

He has one assist and is averaging a little more than 19 minutes of playing time in 18 games since missing the first two months of the season with a lower body injury.
