The Buffalo Sabres have announced rookie forward Victor Olofsson will be out for 5-6 weeks with a lower body injury.

Olofsson was injured during last night's game against the Edmonton Oilers. He lost his balance and fell awkwardly. Buffalo scored on the play, but Olofsson needed assistance from his teammates to get off the ice.

This is devastating news for the Sabres as Victor Olofsson was having a Calder like rookie season. The young Swedish forward has put up 35 points in 42 games on the year. This comes just six days after the team announced that Jeff Skinner would miss 3-4 weeks with an upper body injury.
The Sabres currently find themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and these injuries will certainly not make it any easier for them to crawl back into the thick of things.
