Josh Norris could be out with an undisclosed injury when the Sabres host the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, MSG-B, SN1, TVAS).
The center, acquired from the Ottawa Senators before the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7, did not practice Friday.
"He's just being evaluated by our medical staff today, so I don't have an update right now," coach Lindy Ruff said.
The injury is "something he's been dealing with," Ruff said.
Norris scored his first goal with Buffalo in a 7-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday and has two points in three games since the trade. He has 35 points (21 goals, 14 assists) in 56 games with Sabres and Senators.
JJ Peterka will miss a second straight game Saturday with a lingering lower-body injury. The forward has missed each of the past two practices and did not play against Detroit.
"I talked to JJ and he's feeling a lot better," Ruff said. "Won't play tomorrow but is making the trip so I would anticipate him playing."
Peterka has 51 points (19 goals, 32 assists) in 61 games.
Buffalo begins a four-game road trip Monday at the Boston Bruins.
