Per Buffalo News:
Derek Roy, the Buffalo Sabres’ leading scorer, will miss the rest of the season after surgery for a torn quadriceps tendon, the team announced today.
Roy will have surgery in the next few days for the injury suffered in Thursday night’s loss to the Florida Panthers. His estimated recovery time is four to six months.
In 35 games this season, Roy has tallied 35 points, including 10 goals. Thomas Vanek is second in scoring with 25 points.
The Sabres, who are off for the Christmas holiday, depart later in the weekend for a road trip to Calgary and Edmonton. They are tied for 11th in the Eastern Conference standings.
