Sabres' Robin Lehner: Absent from Thursday skate
Lehner (illness) did not practice Thursday morning.
Analysis:
Lehner missed his scheduled start against Philadelphia on Tuesday and will likely miss Thursday night's game against Minnesota. He's not expected to be out long term, so there's no reason to panic, though he's not off to a good start either, having posted a 3.00 GAA and paltry .892 save percentage. Anders Nilsson will get his second straight start if Lehner can't go. In either case, the depleted Sabres are facing a tough matchup against the Wild.
