Sabres goalie Alex Lyon could miss start of playoffs with strained lower body muscle

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Sabres goalie Alex Lyon could miss the start of the playoffs due to a strained lower-body muscle.

Coach Lindy Ruff provided the update on Thursday, a day after Lyon was hurt during the team’s pre-game skate ahead of Buffalo’s 5-3 win at the New York Rangers. Ruff said the initial prognosis is the goalie missing a week, while adding there is a chance he won’t be available for the start of the playoffs, which are scheduled to open April 18-19.
