Ryan O'Reilly will miss Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a lower-body injury, and word out of Buffalo is the Sabres center could be out for an extended period of time.
Ryan O'Reilly was limping after game in Columbus and met with trainers there. Could be a foot and several weeks, source says. We'll see soon

O'Reilly has recorded 17 goals and 32 assists in 59 games for the Sabres, and is regarded as one of the game's better two-way forwards.
His absence would be a huge blow for the Sabres down the stretch, although Buffalo seems destined to get another high draft pick either way.
