Sabres F Josh Norris (upper body) out week-to-week

Josh Norris' awful injury luck persisted Sunday as the Buffalo Sabres center was ruled out on a week-to-week basis with an upper-body issue.

Norris missed Buffalo's last two games after being cross-checked in the ribs Wednesday, which forced him to depart in the second period of a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Coach Lindy Ruff said Norris would not travel on the team's upcoming road trip, which begins with visits to the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday and Nashville Predators on Tuesday.
