BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Sabres centre Tim Connolly will likely miss the start of the season because he's still experiencing post-concussion symptoms after being hurt during the playoffs.
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said Thursday that Connolly's condition is gradually improving, but he hasn't been cleared to skate in training camp. Buffalo's first full-team practice will be Friday.
Regier said there's "a good possibility" the play-making centre will open the regular season on long-term injured reserve, which would prevent Connolly from playing in the first 10 games.
