BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Maxim Afinogenov, the Buffalo Sabres' leading scorer, was knocked out of the team's 4-1 loss to Toronto in the first period Saturday night with an upper body injury.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff refused to give a specific timetable on how long the speedy forward would be sidelined, other than saying it would be "a while."

Better to have this happen in early November than early June...

True, but this is a huge loss for Buffalo, especially when the rest of the team is playing very well of late. Max was there to give them a spark and now that will be gone for awhile. Bad news.

I missed whatever caused the injury...in the car listening to the radio apparently when it occurred. Anybody see it or have any details??

He'll be back in 10-14 days.


Not TOO bad.

Is that considered "a while" in the NHL? If so, then I'm with you 786, that's not so bad.

Worst case scenario, he misses about 6 games. Nothing terrible in the grand scheme of things.

We have a pretty light November schedule, so missing him for a few games shouldn't hurt us too bad. But I'm sure we'll take a loss due to the lack of his presence along the way.

It looked like he may have separated his shoulder.

I think he'll be out a while.

Yeah, a while seems about right.

It will be more than 6 games, that much I am pretty sure of.

They said on ESPN that it's 10-14 days. That's not too bad. :phew:

I thought the quote from Lindy was 10-14 days, hence around 6 games.
