Early in the first period, after trying to drop the puck off on a zone entry, Paul Byron was ridden hard into the boards by Buffalo Sabres defenceman Mattias Samuelsson. He won’t be returning to tonight’s game.

It was an impactful hit, and Byron was also caught in the back of the helmet by Ben Chiarot’s skate after going to the ice.
