Sabres' Gaustad sidelined with upper-body injury

Hockey Betting Lines

03/03/2010 - Buffalo, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said on Wednesday that center Paul Gaustad will miss at least a week of action because of an upper-body injury.

Gaustad was hurt in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins during an altercation with Mike Rupp late in the game. The 28-year-old has just nine goals and 16 points in 49 games this year, but leads the team with a 59.5 faceoff percentage.

"Someone is going to have to pick up the slack," said Ruff. "Derek Roy's percentage in the last five, six games has gone way up so he'll become a real key faceoff guy for us."
