The Sabres put Benson (lower body) on injured reserve Friday, Sabres insider Joe Yerdon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benson is week-to-week at this time. The 18-year-old, who was selected 13th overall in the 2023 Draft, has picked up two assists in six games with the Sabres this season. Don't be surprised if Buffalo sends Benson to the WHL when he is ready to return.
