Sabres F Sam Carrick (Arm) Could Practice on Tuesday
Carrick’s return gives Buffalo a boost after he was ruled out with a left arm injury and won 82 of 143 faceoffs for the Sabres.
- On Tuesday, Buffalo Sabres forward Sam Carrick resumed practicing, positioning himself to potentially return for the Eastern Conference second-round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens.
- Carrick suffered a left arm injury during a fight with New York Islanders captain Anders Lee on March 31, causing him to miss the final seven regular-season games and the first-round series against Boston.
- The Sabres, who entered Tuesday ranked last among 16 playoff teams in winning 43.8% of their faceoffs, acquired Carrick from the New York Rangers on March 5 to bolster depth.
- Coach Lindy Ruff noted that Carrick is "a little bit ahead of schedule," adding that once cleared to practice, players are typically "within days of playing."
- With Game 1 scheduled for Wednesday night at KeyBank Center, Carrick remains part of the "black ace" squad while aiming to rejoin the lineup soon.
