Sabres' Justin Danforth: Placed on injured reserve

Danforth (lower body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Danforth left Wednesday's 8-4 win over Ottawa because of the injury, and he will be on the shelf for at least a month. The 32-year-old has no point, a minus-2 rating, two PIM, two shots, three hits and four blocks in four appearances this year. Mason Geertsen, who was a healthy scratch for two of Buffalo's opening four games, might play regularly on the fourth line while Danforth is unavailable.
