Spacek suffered a hip injury and played just 4:04. He went to the dressing room after leveling Phoenix's Enver Lisin with a big hit just 7:46 into the game. He played just one 22-second shift late in the first period before retiring for the night and said, "We'll see," about returning for Monday's game in Anaheim.
The injuries to the blue line are accumulating at a rate not seen since the 2006 playoffs, when the Sabres went into Game Seven of the Eastern Conference finals using the 10th player on the depth chart.
The forwards also caught the injury bug, as Jochen Hecht missed the third period. He was blindsided by a hit earlier in the game and experienced blurry vision, and also is taking a wait-and-see approach to Monday's game.
