Robin Lehner is dealing with an ankle injury again.
The Buffalo Sabres goaltender will be kept off the ice for two or three days, head coach Dan Bylsma said Friday, according to John Vogl of The Buffalo News.
That means Lehner won't play Friday against the Ottawa Senators or Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Bylsma said there has been no thought of shutting the netminder down for the season with 11 games remaining.
Chad Johnson will start Friday and will likely go back-to-back against the Leafs on Saturday.
Lehner injured his ankle in the season opener and returned in mid-January. He's 5-9-5 with a 2.47 GAA and .924 save percentage in 21 games.
The Sabres recalled goaltender Nathan Lieuwen from the AHL's Rochester Americans, and Bylsma said Lieuwen will remain in the NHL for at least the next two games while Lehner is out.
