Girgensons (upper body) "might be able to play" against Nashville on Wednesday, reports the Olean Times Herald.

Analysis:

Girgensons was placed on the injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 14 when he suffered the injury against San Jose, and having already sat out for a week is eligible to play as soon as he's ready. He's a game-day decision against Nashville. Despite just scoring three points in 17 games this season, he's one of Buffalo's best two-way players. His return should take some pressure off Ryan O'Reilly.
