Peterka sustained a concussion in Saturday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peterka was injured in the first period following a hard hit from Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon. The 22-year-old Peterka left the contest and didn't return but will travel home to Buffalo with his teammates. If he is unavailable for a week due to concussion protocol, the talented forward could miss Thursday's home opener versus the Kings. Jordan Greenway or Jiri Kulich could replace Peterka on the top line.
