Removed from IR Bryson (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact The Sabres moved Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Following a four-game absence, Bryson is available to play against Florida on Monday. However, he could be a healthy scratch. He has chipped in two goals, five points, 11 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and nine hits in 33 appearances this season.

Moved to IR Bryson (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Friday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Bryson finds himself facing a second long-term stint on the sidelines after he missed nine games earlier in the year while in the concussion protocol. Considering the blueliner has just two points in his last 22 outings, and has periodically served as a healthy scratch, few fantasy managers are likely to be impacted by his absence. With the available roster spot, the Sabres called up Zac Jones from the minors.

"Rock Solid" | Lindy Ruff After 4-2 Win Over Montreal Canadiens | Buffalo Sabres

Set for absence Head coach Lindy Ruff said after Thursday's 4-2 win over Montreal that Bryson (upper body) is going to miss some time, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Bryson suffered his upper-body injury during the second period of Thursday's game and was ruled out prior to the start of the third. Zach Metsa will likely play regularly for the duration of Bryson's absence, though the Sabres will probably elevate a defenseman from AHL Rochester in the near future now that they have only six healthy blueliners.

Sustains upper-body injury Bryson has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game in Montreal due to an upper-body injury, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.

Impact Bryson logged two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 6:17 of ice time prior to exiting. If the 28-year-old defenseman is unable to suit up Saturday on Long Island, Zach Metsa will more than likely draw back into the lineup.

Scores goal in loss Bryson scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to Florida.

Impact Bryson tallied Buffalo's first goal of the contest near the midway point of the opening period. With the twine finder, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, five points, 10 shots on net and 14 blocks through 28 games this season. His second goal of the year helped him set a new career high in twine finders and also snapped his eight-game scoreless streak. He remains off the fantasy radar in all formats until he finds a way to maintain consistent playing time amidst a strong defenseman room in Buffalo.

Quiet on offense Bryson has gone six games without a point after failing to find the scoresheet in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Bryson's playing time is picking up while Michael Kesselring (lower body) and Conor Timmins (leg) are on injured reserve. Since Bryson's two-point effort versus the Blackhawks on Nov. 21, he has picked up one helper in 14 appearances. He has a total of four points, nine shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and six PIM through 25 outings this season while seeing third-pairing usage when he plays.

Pair of points in win Bryson scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Bryson was one of nine Sabres to earn multiple points in the blowout win. The 28-year-old defenseman has done little on offense this year, but he's become a regular on the third pairing since Michael Kesselring (lower body) exited the lineup. Bryson has three points, two shots on net, six blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over 11 outings.

Won't dress Tuesday Bryson (concussion) will not be in the lineup versus Columbus on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Bryson will be given some extra time to recover thanks to the return of Michael Kesselring (lower body), who will be making his season debut. For his part, the 27-year-old Bryson will miss his fifth straight contest due to his concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the Ontario native managed just one point in five outings while dishing out a single hit. His lack of production or category coverage makes him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Likely to be available for Thursday Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Bryson will likely clear the concussion protocol ahead of Thursday's game in Boston, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact The 27-year-old has been in the league's concussion protocol for just over a week, and while Ruff's comments suggest that Bryson will miss at least one more game, the defenseman will likely be able to return to action before the end of the week. Over five appearances this year, Bryson has logged an assist, four blocked shots, a hit and two PIM while averaging 9:28 of ice time.

In concussion protocol Bryson was put in the concussion protocol Saturday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Bryson suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards during Buffalo's 3-0 victory over Florida on Saturday. The 27-year-old defenseman's placement in the concussion protocol suggests he'll probably miss at least some time. Zach Metsa is likely to draw into the lineup while Bryson is absent.

Won't return to Saturday's game Bryson will not return to Saturday's game against Florida due to an upper-body injury.

Impact Bryson fell awkwardly into the boards after a collision with Florida's Jonah Gadjovich and did not return to the bench after the first intermission on Saturday. The 27-year-old has averaged just 11:30 of ice time per game this season, and with just 44 points in 258 career NHL games, he should not be on your fantasy radar. If the injury forces Bryson to miss any time, Zach Metsa looks primed to make his NHL debut.

Gathers assist Bryson logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Bryson won a depth role in training camp over Zac Jones and has played in all four games this season. Injuries to Matias Samuelsson (upper body) and Michael Kesselring (lower body) have helped to keep Bryson in the lineup on the third pairing. Bryson has an assist, one shot on net, four blocks and a plus-1 rating and will likely return to the press box when the Sabres get healthier.
