Franson won't play in Monday's matchup in Detroit due to an undisclosed injury, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old hasn't lit the world on fire offensively, notching 19 points in 65 games, but his 80 hits could give him a small boost in value in some leagues. With Franson joining a slew of injured Sabres defensemen, the team will need to make a couple call-ups to fill out their depth chart before Monday's puck drop.
