Buffalo Sabres: Jack Eichel may be done for the season

“Jack went back to Buffalo early, still being assessed,” Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger informed the media about the injury Tuesday. “He’ll be out minimum a week. We have an upper-body situation that needs some deeper analysis before we decide further.”

Now it’s being reported that Eichel has gone out of town to seek a second opinion. The concern around the Sabres is definitely growing as they go through a very rough time in the franchise’s history.

The injury occurred against the Islanders and may have re-aggravated something he’d been dealing with since the offseason.
