Sabres' Michael Kesselring: Lands on IR

Kesselring (undisclosed) will start the 2025-26 season on injured reserve.

Kesselring had already been ruled out for Opening Night against the Rangers on Thursday, and he'll now start the season on IR. The right-shot blueliner was deemed week-to-week by head coach Lindy Ruff on Friday. Jacob Bryson could see consistent ice time on the third pairing until Kesselring is ready to return.
