Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner will be sidelined three-to-four weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced Saturday.
The 27-year-old was injured in the third period of his team's loss to the Bruins on Friday after colliding with Boston forward David Pastrnak in front of the benches.
Skinner has been suffering through a goal drought, going 11 games without a tally. He sits fourth on the team in goals (11) and fifth in points (19) through 39 contests.
The Sabres will square off against the Bruins on Sunday night to wrap up their home-and-home matchup.
