Sabres Jack Eichel out indefinitely with - seestyle - 02-09-2023 As the Buffalo Sabres were making final preparations for their home opener Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens, their Wednesday practice came to an abrupt, sobering halt.Young star forward Jack Eichel, the team's second leading scorer last season, was writhing in pain on the ice in front of one of the nets after an awkward fall during practice. Bruce Boudreau Kids Jersey His left leg got stuck under him as he crashed to the ice. From the moment the video of Eichel's fall became public, you had to know the news wasn't going to be good and it isn't.The team announced later Wednesday that the 20-year-old suffered a high ankle sprain and that there is no timeline for his return. Sabres fans know all too well just how unpredictable and frustrating a Patrick Marleau Men Jersey high ankle sprain can be. Goalie Robin Lehner mi sed about three months of the season after sustaining the same injury in the team's opening game last year. , the initial prognosis is that Eichel will mi s a minimum of four to six weeks, but that kind of timeline is uncertain with this injury. That very well could end up being more hopeful than anything else. This could have been worse, of course, but it's still a pretty awful way to head into the season. Eichel finished last season with 56 points, including a team-best 24 goals. Stating the obvious, this Nikita Zaitsev Jersey is a player the team can't adequately replace, no matter how long he is out.Buffalo was already going to be without key offseason acquisition Kyle Okposo, Frederik Gauthier Men Jersey who will sit out the home opener with a knee injury sustained in practice. Additionally, top returning scorer Ryan O'Reilly hasn't yet been cleared to play Thursday.That's three top six forwards the Sabres are most likely going to be without. It appears that Canadiens goalie Carey Price won't bea able to play in the game, either. He has been dealing with a flu bug and won't travel with the team for their season opening Tiger Williams Men Jersey game. That's some moderate "good" news for the Sabres heading into that particular contest. The Eichel injury is a tough one for Sabres fans who were justly heading into this season with a lot more optimism than previous years. An extended absence for the team's most exciting talent is just about the cruelest way to temper expectations before they even have a chance to drop the puck.
