Buffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season with an upper-body injury that requires surgery, the team announced Sunday.
Samuelsson has seven points in 41 games this season while playing 20:30 per contest. He ranks third among Sabres defenders in ice time.
The 23-year-old most recently played on Jan. 23 against the Anaheim Ducks. He'd missed Buffalo's last two games against the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.
Samuelsson is in the first season of a seven-year contract extension signed in October 2022.
The Sabres are sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 22-23-4 record.
