Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Labeled week-to-week
Samuelsson (lower body) is considered week-to-week, the Sabres announced Wednesday.
Samuelsson isn't facing a short-term absence after head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters the blueliner would be out "weeks," according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. Given his timeline, fantasy players can probably expect Samuelsson to be designated for injured reserve in the coming days in order to free up a roster spot. In his stead, look for Dennis Gilbert to see the biggest uptick in opportunities -- though Henri Jokiharju should also be in the mix.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Placed on injured reserve
Samuelsson (lower body), as expected, was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Considering Samuelsson is expected to be out for weeks, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him being shifted over to IR. With the open roster spot, the team added James Reimer off waivers and is currently carrying a trio of netminders. For his part, the 24-year-old Samuelsson hasn't offered much offensively this year, tallying just one point in 13 contests.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Undergoing evaluation Tuesday
Samuelsson, who sustained a lower-body injury in Monday's matchup with Montreal, will be further evaluated Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Samuelsson was playing in his first game back after being benched by head coach Lindy Ruff for the prior three games when he suffered his lower-body injury. The blueliner's stint in the press box didn't come as a huge surprise considering he has just one point in 13 appearances while also sporting a minus-2 rating. If Samuelsson can't play in Thursday's clash with St. Louis, look for Dennis Gilbert to rejoin the lineup -- though Henri Jokiharju should also be in the mix.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Leaves Monday's game
Samuelsson (lower body) won't return to Monday's game against the Canadiens.
After being a healthy scratch for three straight games, Samuelsson logged 6:49 of ice before getting injured in his return to the lineup. He entered Monday's matchup with one goal, 15 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 23 hits in 12 appearances. If Samuelsson can't play Thursday, Dennis Gilbert or Henri Jokiharju will suit up versus St. Louis.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Tallies in Saturday's win
Samuelsson scored a goal on four shots and levied four hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Samuelsson is not a high scorer, as the 24-year-old typically features in more of a shutdown role. The goal was his first point through four games, and he's added six shots on net, 10 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 16:08 of ice time. Samuelsson should be a fixture in the lineup in 2024-25, but he's topped out at 10 points and 55 games over the first four seasons of his career, so there's little upside and significant injury risk involved in his play.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Full participant Wednesday
Samuelsson (shoulder) was a full go for Wednesday's training camp session, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Samuelsson started skating before the season started back in April, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he has recovered from his shoulder problem. The 24-year-old blueliner was limited to just 41 games last year and struggled offensively even when he was healthy. In all, the Philadelphia native managed just one goal and six helpers and was mired in a 35-game goal drought when his season ended due to his shoulder problem. Even if he can stay healthy, Samuelsson doesn't offer enough offense to warrant taking in most re-draft formats, though he has shown a physical edge and could help in both hits and blocks.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Starts skating
Samuelsson (shoulder) has been cleared to resume skating, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports Thursday.
Samuelsson had a goal, seven points, 26 PIM, 106 hits and 86 blocks in 41 outings in 2023-24. He underwent shoulder surgery and consequently didn't play past Jan. 23. The 24-year-old hopes to adjust his offseason training to minimize the chances of future injuries. Provided he's healthy for next season, Samuelsson will be a candidate to serve in a top-four capacity, although the acquisition of Bowen Byram from Colorado in March might push Samuelsson down to the third pairing.

Samuelsson is still undergoing medical imaging for his upper-body injury, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports Friday.
Samuelsson should probably be considered a longshot to face the Sharks on Saturday. If he does miss out, the 23-year-old blueliner will be sidelined for the fourth time in his last six contests. Samuelsson is currently stuck in a 36-game goal drought during which he's managed a mere 39 shots and three helpers.

Samuelsson (upper body) is expected to be a game-time call Saturday versus the Lightning, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Samuelsson missed the Sabres' last two contests after suffering an injury Jan. 13 against Vancouver. The 23-year-old blueliner has a goal, seven points and a plus-3 rating through 39 games this year. Samuelsson should return to a top-pairing role alongside Rasmus Dahlin once he's cleared to return.

Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Garners rare assist
Samuelsson posted an assist, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Samuelsson hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since Oct. 27, a span of 18 games without a point. He snapped the drought with a secondary helper on Zach Benson's go-ahead goal in the third period. Samuelsson is about as pure of a defensive blueliner as they get, offering a stable presence at the back to enable Rasmus Dahlin or Owen Power to push forward more. Through 27 contests, Samuelsson has four points, 28 shots on net, 59 hits, 57 blocked shots and 18 PIM.
