Lyon has a setback, Dahlin doubtful for Thursday in Toronto - Audacy

Toronto, Ontario (WGR) - While the team had a scheduled off day on Wednesday, Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff joined the "Jeremy and Joe Show" on WGR and did not have positive news on the injury front. Goalie Alex Lyon had been practicing for over a week with a shoulder injury, but Ruff says things aren't going well with his recovery. "Alex Lyon had a little bit of a setback, so he won't be on the ice for a few days," said Ruff with Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase. Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin left in the middle of Monday's 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers, and was seen holding his back before skating off the ice. He missed Tuesday night's 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. However, the Sabres head coach had no new update on his status. "I would say it's probably doubtful [for Thursday in Toronto], so we'll see what today brings," Ruff noted. Meanwhile, forward Tyson Kozak had just gotten into his first two games of the season and now he is injured too. "Had an upper-body that we sent him back to Buffalo, and he's being evaluated," Ruff said. In Tuesday's loss to the Canadiens, Montreal went 1-for-3 on the power play, scoring while skating with a 5-on-3 advantage.
