"He's Ahead Of Schedule" | Lindy Ruff With Josh Norris Update | Buffalo Sabres

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Michael Kesselring - Surfaces on IR Kesselring (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact The Sabres recalled Zach Metsa from AHL Rochester in a corresponding move. Kesselring doesn't have a timeline for his return to the lineup after being injured in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over Detroit. He hasn't earned a point in nine appearances this season while posting 10 shots on goal, nine blocked shots and seven hits.

Colten Ellis - Tending twine Monday Ellis will defend the home crease against the Oilers on Monday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Ellis has seen limited playing time for the Sabres this season but has been relatively effective when called upon, going 2-1-0 with a 3.35 GAA and .895 save percentage over his three appearances. He's coming off an overtime win in Detroit on Saturday, and he'll draw back-to-back starts for the first time this season. The Oilers have had a middling offense early in the year, scoring 3.10 goals per game, which ranks 16th in the league.

Josh Norris - Making progress Norris (upper body) participated in Monday's morning skate and could return ahead of schedule, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Norris will miss his 18th straight game against Edmonton on Monday. He hasn't been in the lineup since Buffalo's season opener and was initially expected to miss about eight weeks. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup, but he is making progress.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Zucker - Could return by this weekend Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Zucker (illness) could return to game action by this weekend, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Zucker has missed the last two weeks due to a severe viral issue, and he didn't have a timetable to return. However, he now appears to be closing in on getting back to game action. The 33-year-old will remain sidelined for Monday's game against Edmonton and could also miss Wednesday's matchup against the Flames, but it seems as though he'll be in the mix to suit up Friday against the Blackhawks or Sunday against the Hurricanes.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Kesselring - Set for extended absence Kesselring (lower body) is undergoing further evaluation but is facing a long-term absence, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Monday.

Impact Kesselring was out of action for the Sabres' first nine matches of the season due to a lower-body injury. It's not clear if this latest lower-body issue is related. Regardless, with Kesselring likely on the shelf for a while, Jacob Bryson is the most likely candidate to see increased minutes.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Zach Metsa - Rejoins NHL club Metsa was called up from AHL Rochester on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Metsa spent the last few weeks in the minors, but he was on the ice for morning skate ahead of Monday's matchup against the Oilers, signaling that he's rejoined the NHL club. Metsa made four appearances for the Sabres earlier in the year, and he recorded no points, two blocked shots, a hit, a plus-3 rating and two PIM while averaging 8:49 of ice time.

Rasmus Dahlin - Two helpers in return Dahlin logged two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Dahlin missed three games while attending to a personal matter. He was not eased back into action, logging 27:05 of ice time in this contest while earning his third multi-point effort of the season. The defenseman has a goal, 10 helpers, 38 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 13 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 15 appearances this year. His large role makes him a strong blueliner in fantasy, particularly for managers in need of category coverage.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan McLeod - Nets shorthanded goal McLeod scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact McLeod had been limited to just one assist over his previous seven games. The 26-year-old center came up clutch while killing a penalty in the third period, tying the game and ultimately forcing overtime, where Mattias Samuelsson lifted the Sabres to a comeback win. McLeod is up to four goals, including two shorties, as well as five assists, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances. He remains a key part of the Sabres' top six and sees ice time in all situations.
