INJURY REPORT: Ryan Miller has high ankle sprain out indefintely
The Buffalo News reports Sabres coach Lindy Ruff had no further update Monday on the status of goalie Ryan Miller, who suffered a high-ankle sprain Saturday against the Rangers, and said the goalie remains out indefinitely. "There really is no more than that," Ruff said. "An ankle sprain takes time and you don't know how much time it's going to take." Miller has a boot on his left leg, but added it should only be on another day or two. "It's a little better," Miller said of the ankle, which was injured in a collision behind the net with Rangers center Scott Gomez. "Some of the swelling is down and it didn't have a lot to begin with so that's good. It's a little achy and it's one of those things you have to see how it reacts."
Fantasy Impact: This will hurt the Snipers as he went from last to 2nd in goalie wins and save percentage this season. His backup is Ilya Bryzgalov who has been performing poorly as of late. Snipers will need BRYZ to fill the void until Miller can come back hopefully before the playoffs. If not, better hope Bryzgalov can go back to form.
