Sabres Get Bad News on Konsta Helenius Injury, Zach Benson Absence

The Buffalo Sabres can’t seem to escape the injury bug. It’s not hitting with any rhyme or reason, but ailments keep popping up, and the latest is to Konsta Helenius. When head coach Lindy Ruff spoke to reporters on Monday, he delivered an update on Helenius, and it was bad news in the immediate term. The head coach added that Zach Benson is dinged up, too, but he’s hoping it’s not that serious. Benson’s absence will be something to monitor, but there’s not any further information on that yet, so we’ll break down Helenius here.
