The Sabres have suspended Zadorov for failing to report to the team on time following the NHL All-Star break, the team's official site reports.

Analysis:

Zadorov, who has eight points in 34 games to date, was suspended after failing to return from his vacation from the Dominican Republic on time. GM Tim Murray indicated that he expects the blueliner (who missed Monday's practice) to rejoin the team "at some point during this week's western road trip." Zadorov has been one of Buffalo's biggest minute-munchers, and is expected to grow into a top-pairing defenseman in the future.
