Zemgus Girgensons News

Girgensons, who has just one assist in his last seven games, is expected to miss at least a few weeks with an upper-bod injury he suffered on Thursday. With Girgensons out, Remi Elie will likely become a regular in the lineup.

Girgensons has been in the lineup for the last five games but will be replaced by Jason Pominville on Saturday. Girgensons has just six points (2G / 4A) in 27 games this season.

Girgensons has one goal and four assists (five points) in 16 games this season. Girgensons will be replaced by Tage Thompson on the Sabres fourth line.

Girgensons will miss the last few games of the regular season after suffering a facial injury that required surgery on Wednesday. Girgensons will be replaced by Alex Nylander tonight.

Girgensons was not on the ice this morning, so he is questionable for tonight's game in Boston. If Girgensons can't play, Scott Wilson is expected to draw back into the lineup.

Girgeonsons played just 2:30 TOI in the Sabres loss in Vegas on Tuesday, but it doesn’t sound like his injury is overly serious. He is listed as day-to-day and thus questionable for Friday, but don’t expect the Latvian forward to miss too much time.

Girgensons had a massive drop-off in production during the Dan Bylsma era, but it looks like he’ll get a fresh start with Phil Housley behind the bench. Girgensons has spent the first few days of training camp on the first line with Ryan O’Reilly and Kyle Okposo, which showcases the new regime’s belief in him. In 2014-15, while playing over 19 minutes per night, Girgensons had 15 goals and 15 assists (30 points) in 61 games—that’s a 20-20 pace over 82 games. He’s got the tools for be a top-6 forward and it looks like the Sabres will give him every chance possible to get his career back on-track.

Girgensons was reportedly banged up in the Sabres’ come-from-behind win over the Sharks on Tuesday and will not play tonight vs. the Ducks. With Girgensons out, the Sabres have recalled Derek Grant from Rochester (AHL).

Girgensons missed the last four games but will return to the lineup on Monday vs. the Rangers. Girgensons, who has just three goals and five assists in 40 games this season, will skate on the second line with Jack Eichel and Matt Moulson.
