Samuelsson (undisclosed) will not play Thursday vs. the Senators.

Samuelsson had two goals, eight assists, 76 SOG, 20 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 55 games but will not play Thursday vs. Ottawa in the Sabres' season finally. The 23-year-old puts the cap on a fairly successful third NHL season, which saw him play a career-high in games while putting up career goal and point totals as well.

Samuelsson missed the Sabres' previous two games due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup Thursday as they take on Dallas. The 22-year-old stay-at-home defenseman has a goal, seven assists, 65 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 46 games this season.

Samuelsson (knee) will return to the Sabres lineup on Tuesday.

Samuelsson has missed the last 13 games with a knee injury that he suffered in Vancouver on October 22nd. Samuelsson was Rasmus Dahlin's primary D partner before getting hurt and was skating with him in Monday's practice. The 22-year-old defenseman has no points, a plus-6 rating and seven SOG in five games this season.

Samuelsson (lower-body) is expected to miss a few weeks.

Samuelsson went down awkwardly in a collision with Curtis Lazar on Saturday and is expected to miss a few weeks. This is probably the best-case scenario because it looked like the injury may have been serious when it first happened. Owen Power and Ilya Lyubushkin have been skating with Rasmus Dahlin since Samuelsson got hurt.

The Sabres have signed Mattias Samuelsson to a seven-year contract worth $30.0 million ($4.29M AAV).

Samuelsson gets a huge extension despite only appearing in 52 NHL games over the last two seasons. The 2018 No.32 overall pick had 10 assists in 42 games last season and projects to be a huge part of the Sabres' blueline this season, skating with Rasmussen Dahlin at 5v5.

The Sabres signed Mattias Samuelsson to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Samuelsson was selected No.32 overall in 2018 and the 20-year-old defenseman tallied 14 points (2G / 12A) in 30 games at Western Michigan University in 2020. Samuelsson also represented the USA at the World Juniors for the second straight year but has failed to record a point in those 12 international games.
