Lindy Ruff: Carrick Week-to-Week, Playoffs Possible
3 Apr
Summary
- Sam Carrick is week-to-week with an arm injury sustained Tuesday.
- Carrick has scored five goals in 13 games for Buffalo.
- Sabres can clinch playoffs with a win or point against Ottawa.
Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff provided an update on forward Sam Carrick on Thursday, stating he is week-to-week with an arm injury. Carrick sustained the injury during the previous Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders, which the Sabres won 4-3. He required assistance leaving the ice after a fight with Anders Lee, where his left arm was notably at an awkward angle.
Since joining the Sabres on March 6th from the New York Rangers in exchange for draft picks, Carrick has been a significant contributor. He has scored five goals and added one assist in his first 13 games with Buffalo. This season, he recorded four goals and six assists in 60 games for the Rangers.
The Sabres are on the verge of clinching a playoff berth, aiming to end a 14-season drought. A victory against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday would secure their place. Alternatively, earning at least one point against Ottawa, combined with favorable outcomes in other games, could also lead to a playoff spot.
