Tampa Bay’s Erik Cernak suspended two games for elbowing Sabres’ Rasmus Dahlin

‘Sabres winger Jimmy Vesey said Dahlin was “cut open pretty good,” though most of Dahlin’s teammates told reporters they did not see the hit. Following the 5-2 loss to the Lightning, coach Ralph Krueger revealed that Dahlin was diagnosed with a concussion and said the Sabres’ focus was on “getting him healthy and hoping it’s not a long-term injury.”

‘”Since that time, obviously, I want to start by saying, allegations of this nature we take very, very seriously,” Treliving said. “This is a subject matter that has no place in our organization. The magnitude and serious nature that we take this allegation is very high. … Bill has not been relieved of his duties. We hope to have this completed quickly, but it’s got to be thorough. It’s got to be done correctly. I’m not about to comment on anything halfway through or give tidbits or give soundbites at this point other than to say, the serious nature of this is not lost on us. We take it with extreme seriousness and until such time that I personally can talk to the parties involved and everybody that we want to, we’re not going to comment.”‘

Long-term injury reserve hampering Buffalo Sabres in NHL trade market

‘Under the collective bargaining agreement, teams with limited salary-cap space can garner a measure of in-season cap relief by placing a sidelined player on LTIR. That allows a team to exceed the $81.5-million cap up to the injured player’s annual salary-cap hit in order to bring in a replacement via trade, waiver claim, or call-up from the minors. Once the injured player is healthy, the team must clear sufficient salary-cap space for his return.’
