Robin Lehner's season is over.
The Buffalo Sabres goaltender had surgery Wednesday on his troublesome right ankle and won't play in the remaining five games.
Lehner has been resting the ankle since March 16, and he missed more than two months earlier this season after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the season opener.
The 24-year-old was limited to 21 games, going 5-9-5 with a 2.47 GAA and .924 save percentage after being acquired from the Ottawa Senators on draft day last June.
