Buffalo Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner left the game Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators in the first period after injuring his hip and is day to day.
Lehner was relieved by Anders Nilsson with 2:12 left in the first after allowing a goal on six shots. He appeared to sustain the injury when he came out of net to attempt to play the puck prior to leaving. Sabres coach Dan Byslma described Lehner's injury as a cramp.
