Buffalo Sabres forward Josh Norris' bad luck with injuries continues.

He will miss a “significant amount of time," coach Lindy Ruff told reporters, after suffering his second major injury since being acquired at the 2025 NHL trade deadline.

"I don't know what that amount is," Ruff said on Saturday, Oct. 11. "He's still being evaluated."

Norris missed the remainder of the 2024-25 season with an oblique injury in his third game after arriving from the Ottawa Senators in the Dylan Cozens trade in March.

This season, he suffered an upper-body injury in a loss to the New York Rangers in the Sabres' opener. He was hurt while taking a faceoff and was slow getting to the bench.
