Benson missed Saturday's game against the Devils in Prague with a lower-body injury, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Benson played through the injury Friday when he managed 17:23 of ice time, including 4:32 on the power play. However, he didn't dress in the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back. The Sabres will face the Kings at home on Thursday. Consider the 19-year-old, who had 11 goals and 30 points in 71 regular-season games last season, day-to-day.
