‘”It’s a hard hit. It’s a heavy hit,” Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said before a 3-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. “In the best case we’ll get him back in a month. A huge loss at this point in our season, especially coming off the tail end of that New Jersey game, which was clearly his strongest performance of the season (41 saves in a 4-1 win Tuesday). To see him get a lower-body injury that will take him out for a minimum one month is a hard hit. We’re still digesting that and we’re going to work with Linus to get him up to speed as quick as possible, but it’s a long-term injury.”‘
