The Buffalo Sabres will be missing a player for Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks thanks to the massive snowstorm hammering the Buffalo area.
According to Sabres coach Ted Nolan, Patrick Kaleta is snowed in and will be unable to attend the game, but everyone else - aside from some of the team's medical staff - was able to make it to the arena.
Kaleta's absence is forgivable considering the state of Buffalo's roads:

Wish this was just a snow drift. Alas, it's same height all the way into street. At least it used to be a street. pic.twitter.com/56NbAvNBPH
