Henri Jokiharju News

Jokiharju will sit on Thursday as the Sabres will opt to dress Ryan Johnson in his place. Jokiharju has two goals and seven assists in 30 games this season.

Goodrow played only 2:58 time-on-ice on Tuesday, did not participate in practice Thursday, and is considered day-to-day ahead of the Rangers' next game on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. Goodrow has one point in his last seven games (0G / 1A) playing primarily alongside Jimmy Vesey and Tyler Pitlick.

Jokiharju did not play on Saturday and has averaged only 12:34 time-on-ice over his last four games after averaging 17:11 in his first 14, which is also when he accumulated all seven points he has this season (2G / 5A). Jokiharju has predominantly skated alongside Owen Power this season on the Sabres' second defensive pairing.

Jokiharju has two goals, five assists, 18 SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 18 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Saturday vs. New Jersey. Isak Rosen will make his debut in Jokiharju's place.

Jokiharju was a late scratch from Tuesday's game, with Sabres head coach Don Granato only hinting that "someone" was feeling under the weather when talking to the media earlier in the day. Jokiharju is off to a relatively productive start to his 2023-24 season, registering two goals and five assists across the first 15 games. Ryan Johnson will draw into the lineup in place of Jokiharju.

Woodrow will miss Saturday's matchup vs. Minnesota as he left the team due to the birth of his child and should be back for the Rangers game Tuesday. The 30-year-old has struggled so far in 2023-24, with no goals, one assist, four SOG, and 12 PIMs through 10 games played.

Jokiharju has not played since Dec. 9th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off the injured reserve Tuesday. Prior to his injury, the 23-year-old has one goal, three assists, 20 SOG, 12 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 16 games.

Jokiharju has not played since October 20th vs. Calgary where he left early in the game after sustaining a facial fracture injury. The 23-year-old defenseman will be a welcome addition to the Sabres' blueline when he returns as expected either Tuesday or Wednesday after being cleared Monday. Through four games in 2022-23 prior to the injury, he was a +3 plus/minus with one assist and one SOG.

Jokiharju took a puck to the face in Calgary last Thursday and is week-to-week with a broken bone under his nose. Ilya Lyubushkin and Owen Power have taken on larger roles with both Jokiharju and Mattias Samuelsson out.

Goodrow missed Game 2 and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. Dryden Hunt replaced him in the lineup and will likely remain in while Goodrow is sidelined.

Jokiharju has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but will Thursday vs. the Golden Knights. Jokiharju will replace Mark Pysyk on the Sabres blueline and will play on PP2. He has three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 36 games this season.
