Sabres Get Major Zach Benson Update After Missed Practice

The Buffalo Sabres got some worrisome news on Monday. In addition to Konsta Helenius being ruled out as week-to-week, Zach Benson missed practice. It wasn’t necessarily an expected absence, and so it raised worries about a potential injury absence for the dynamic winger. Buffalo was returning home from a West Coast trip, and the Sabres are due to host the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. A Benson absence would make things a bit tougher against a Senators team that has played well in the early going this season.
