The Buffalo Sabres say 25-year-old Brandon Montour will miss the remainder of training camp due to a hand injury. The defenseman will be reassessed before the beginning of the regular season, and an update will be provided at that time.
Montour was acquired at last year's trade deadline from the Anahiem Ducks in exchange for Brendan Guhle and a 2019 first-round pick. Montour has good numbers, putting up 35 points last season, including eight goals, in 82 games. He also had 30+ points in the previous season with the Ducks, his first full one in the NHL.
Luckily for Buffalo, should Montour have to miss any regular season games, the team now has some depth on the blueline after picking up Henri Jokiharju in a trade with the Blackhawks during the offseason, as well as signing Jake McCabe to a two-year deal in August.
