Sabres center O’Reilly out after having appendectomy
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres top-line center Ryan O’Reilly is out indefinitely after having his appendix removed during the NHL’s holiday break this past weekend.
The team announced the news Tuesday, after the Sabres traveled to Detroit for their game against the Red Wings.
Without providing details, the Sabres said the appendectomy was successful and there is no timetable for O’Reilly’s return.
O’Reilly’s seven goals are tied for second on the team, and his 18 points in 27 games rank fourth.
