Sabres' Colten Ellis: Placed on injured reserve

Ellis (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Ellis landed in the concussion protocol after exiting Tuesday's game against the Oilers, and he'll be sidelined for at least a week while he recovers. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon should see time in the crease while Ellis is unavailable.
