The Buffalo Sabres announced on Saturday that Jeff Skinner will miss the next three-to-four weeks after suffering an upper-body injury in Friday night's game against the Boston Bruins.
The injury occurred in the third period of the game, when Skinner collided with Bruins all-star David Pastrnak.
Skinner has gotten off to a slow start to the 2019-20 season, after he set a new career high in goals (40) and tied his career high in points (63) last season.
In 39 games this season, the 27-year-old has just 11 goals and 19 points.
The Sabres are set to return to action on Sunday night against the Bruins to finish off their home-and-home matchup.
