Leino (lower body) was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate, Bill Hoppe of the Buffalo Times Herald reports.

Analysis:

Leino was forced from the Sabres' New Year's Eve game with a lower body injury early in the first period and never returned. There was no word given on just how sever the injury was, but it doesn't appear as if it's going to cause him to miss any additional action.
