Injury Updates Across the League
The Buffalo Sabres received a boost this week as forward Kulich, who underwent surgery to remove a blood clot, was cleared to resume skating.
General manager Kevyn Adams confirmed that the 23‑year‑old is expected to be ready for the upcoming season, a development that could shore up the team’s depth at center.
Meanwhile, another Sabres prospect, J. Danforth, is drawing attention for his potential return after the Olympics, with sources indicating he is trending toward a post‑Games comeback.
The Pittsburgh Penguins, however, faced a setback when center C. Jones was placed on injured reserve, a move that opens a roster spot for a younger forward.
Coach Mike Sullivan said the team will evaluate the injury timeline but remains optimistic about the depth options available.
The moves come as both clubs navigate a crowded schedule and aim to stay competitive in the Atlantic Division.
