Buffalo Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner was placed on injured reserve Saturday and will miss at least one week of action, according to head coach Dan Bylsma.
Lehner made a premature exit from the club's season opener against the Ottawa Senators Thursday, after suffering a lower-body injury. The team is still awaiting the results of Lehner's MRI that was scheduled for Saturday.
TSN's Bob McKenzie reported on said results:
Doesn't sound as though Robin Lehner's MRI results were encouraging: More likely to miss 2+ months than 2+ weeks, tho no official word yet.

The Sabres also announced they have recalled goaltender Nathan Lieuwen from the AHL's Rochester Americans.
