With 9:07 remaining in the third period, Gaustad landed on the ice awkwardly after being crosschecked. Gaustad went to the bench favoring his right hand/wrist area and did not return to the game.

Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) -- The Buffalo Sabres took to the ice at First Niagara Center on Monday with a pair of home games on the slate to round out their current five-game home stand. Head coach Lindy Ruff may have Paul Gaustad and Patrick Kaleta back for tomorrow night's matchup with the Ottawa Senators.

Gaustad practiced with his normal, which is an indication he could draw back in. Gaustad has a goal and six points over 26 games while centering the fourth line.

#Sabres Leopold and Gaustad out Wednesday.

Gaustad is apparently injured after getting in Saturday's infamous altercation. He scored a goal and six assists to go along with three fights through 26 games. Expect a corresponding move to replace the faceoff specialist.

Gaustad has a hip flexor but told WGR's Paul Hamilton that he should be fine for the Tampa game. The injury did not occur during Thursday's win over Florida.

Gaustad was injured during a bout with the Panthers' Matt Bradley. The gritty pivot likely won't let a day-to-day injury keep him out of the lineup.
