Sabres' Ryan O'Reilly: Out indefinitely following appendectomy

O'Reilly is recovering from an appendectomy performed over the holiday break and currently has no timetable for his return.

Analysis:

With 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists), O'Reilly is the fourth-highest scorer on a Sabres team currently sitting in the basement of the Atlantic Division standings. His absence leaves a gaping hole on the power play as well, as he's netted 10 of his points while manning the left wing on the top man-advantage unit. At the time of this writing, the Sabres have yet to call up a reinforcement to patch the lines without O'Reilly in tow.
