Buffalo Sabres starting goalie Robin Lehner to miss 6-10 weeks with sprained right ankle

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Sabres starting goalie Robin Lehner will miss between six and 10 weeks with a sprained right ankle.

Coach Dan Bylsma revealed the timetable on Sunday after Lehner underwent a series of tests. Lehner was hurt in the second period of Buffalo's season-opening 3-1 loss to Ottawa on Thursday.

He was untouched while circling his own net and before suddenly going down in his crease.

The injury means the Sabres will proceed with backup Chad Johnson and minor-league call-up Nathan Lieuwen. Johnson had 27 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Lehner was supposed to play a key role with the new-look Sabres this season. They traded a first-round draft pick to Ottawa to acquire the 24-year-old goalie and forward David Legwand in June.
