The Sabres’ top-six forward — playing at a point-per-game pace for Buffalo’s AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans – played with the injury Friday night against Hamilton, but sat out Saturday’s rematch.
Hodgson will be out two weeks, according to Rochester reporter Kevin Oklobzija:
“A couple weeks” is what they’re saying. 2 seems hopeful since his hands are his game. @dedario What’s Hodgson’s recovery time?
