3 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson (illness) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against Carolina. Samuelsson has missed two games due to an illness and was initially considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup. He will replace Jacob Bryson in the lineup. Samuelsson is a stay-at-home defenseman who doesn't offer much on the offensive end. In 25 outings, he has collected five points (two goals, three assists). Without the puck, Samuelsson has recorded 34 blocks and 43 hits this term.

4 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson (lower body) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's battle against the Rangers. He's available again after missing 12 games with a lower-body injury. Samuelsson is expected to work with Connor Clifton on the third defensive pairing, pushing Jacob Bryson out of the lineup. His game is very limited, so fantasy managers should ignore Samuelsson. In 13 appearances this season, Samuelsson has recorded one goal, 15 shots, 14 blocks, and 24 hits.

5 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson (lower body) has been ruled out indefinitely by head coach Lindy Ruff. Following a three-game spell as a healthy scratch, Samuelsson was back in action against Montreal on Monday, but he sustained a lower-body injury. It's a fresh blow for the 24-year-old, whose season hasn't gone well. Samuelsson has registered one goal in 13 outings and carries a minus-two rating. Buffalo has placed Samuelsson on Injured Reserve. Dennis Gilbert is set to take over Samuelsson's role on the third defensive pairing. He's gone scoreless in four prior appearances this season, recording 10 penalty minutes, five blocks, and 11 hits.

5 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson (lower body) was limited to 6:49 of ice time in Monday's 7-5 loss to Montreal. He was back in the lineup after sitting out three games as a healthy scratch, but unfortunately, Samuelsson's day at the office was very brief. The Swedish rearguard has managed one goal, 15 shots, 14 blocks, and 23 hits in 13 appearances this season. Henri Jokiharju and Dennis Gilbert are the candidates to step in for Samuelsson if he can't play on Thursday versus St. Louis.
