Buffalo Sabres Dealing With Early Injury Troubles

Sunday, January 03, 2021

The Buffalo Sabres have just started to get their group together for training camp and the injuries are already starting to pile up. The good news is, nothing sounds like it's going to be a long-term problem.

Captain Jack Eichel has yet to take the ice with his teammates as the superstar is dealing with a nagging injury from his personal training. The upper-body injury is speculated as a shoulder issue and Sabres fan aren't concerned just yet, but should they be? It's never good to be held out of training camp considering the regular season starts in 10 days and there's no preseason games to get ramped up. 

Eichel's potential right-winger Victor Oloffson is also going to be held out for a few days after he crashed into the post during the team's first skate together. The team announced he's expected to be day-to-day with an upper-body injury which is likely neck or shoulder related considering he basically ate the post.

There's a ton of pressure on the Sabres to perform this season as everyone including their captain is sick and tired of losing. They brought in a ton of veterans including Taylor Hall in hopes of turning things around. Starting off with a banged up roster is certainly not the ideal start the team was looking for.
