Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson skated alongside teammates on Friday for the first time since sustaining a lower-body injury during a Prospects Challenge game against New Jersey on Sept. 17.
Coach Don Granato said Samuelsson will not travel with the team for its game in New Jersey on Saturday.
"We'll decide after that where he's at," Granato said. "But just in talking to him after, he felt good."
