Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris will miss Thursday's Game 3 against the Boston Bruins due to an undisclosed injury, head coach Lindy Ruff announced.

Ruff said Norris was "not feeling right," according to WGRZ's Jonathan Acosta. He is considered day-to-day.

Norris was held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the opening-round series. In the regular season, the 26-year-old tallied 13 goals and 21 assists in 44 games.

Noah Ostlund will slide into the lineup as the third-line center with Norris out, Ruff said, according to the Boston Herald's Steve Conroy.

The first-round series is tied heading into Game 3 at TD Garden.
