Buffalo Sabres
Sam Carrick is out week to week for the Sabres with a left arm injury, but he has not been ruled out for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, coach Lindy Ruff said on Thursday. The forward was injured in a fight with New York Islanders captain Anders Lee in the third period of a 4-3 win on Tuesday and did not play in a 4-1 loss at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. He has 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 73 games this season, including five goals and one assist in 13 games with Buffalo since he was acquired in a trade with the Rangers on March 6. Buffalo visits the Washington Capitals on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; MNMT, MSG-B).
