Sabres' Zach Benson Nearing Return, Michael Kesselring Out Weeks With Injury

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Michael Kesselring will be sidelined for 'weeks' after suffering an injury during the team's overtime victory against Detroit. This is Kesselring's second injury this season, having missed a month earlier due to an unspecified issue. Meanwhile, winger Zach Benson is close to returning and is expected to join the morning skate. Benson had a strong start with eight assists in eight games before a lower-body injury. Josh Norris and Jason Zucker participated in practice in non-contact jerseys.
