Casey Mittelstadt can’t seem to catch a break this season.
The Buffalo Sabres forward will miss Tuesday night’s game in Vegas and reportedly has an appointment to speak to the surgeon who performed his recent procedure, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Mittelstadt suffered what the team called an “upper-body injury” in Sunday’s game in Colorado. He played 4:49 in the first period and then did not return.
