Pysyk (lower body) is still without a timeline for his return to action, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Analysis:

Pysyk won't play Saturday against the Stars, and could miss several more contests with a bone bruise he likely suffered in Tuesday's tilt against Dallas. The injury isn't expected to keep the 23-year-old blueliner out long term, as he's still listed as day-to-day with the ailment, but he'll probably need to log several full practices before drawing back into the Sabres' lineup. Carlo Colaiacovo will continue to skate with Cody Franson on Buffalo's third pairing while Pysyk is sidelined.
